This article really need an update because the metadata support in 2.2.12 has 
different sintax 

An working example of ldap filter is here ( i don't use kolab schema yet in my 
setup, but is similar) :


user_attrs =uid= mail,uid=home=/home/dovecot/%d/%{ldap:uid}
# Filter for user lookup. Some variables can be used (see

user_filter = (|(uid=%u)(mail=%u))


pass_attrs = uid=user,userPassword=password



# Filter for password lookups
pass_filter = (uid=%u)
