By default it should be possivle to also use the uid (i.e. last name).

I'm using the following in ejabberd.cfg to enable aliases:

{ldap_uids, [{"alias", "%u at der-he.de"}]}.

(change to your domain)

But remember: onealias at domain.com is another account than
otheralias at domain.com, even if both aliases belong to the same user. 
they don't share messages or contacts.
