Well, no luck for me.

Can you specify the whole requirements for this to work.

...
passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://localhost/
ldap suffix = 
ldap admin dn =

Idmap backend = ldap:ldap://localhost/
...

Should I enable ldap trust ids too?

Have a good time,
Andrey Nepomnyaschih

In order to use arbitary rids in LDAP, you *must* use 'idmap backed =
ldap:ldap://localhost' (as appropriate for your setup).

I will see how this can be best automated/documented to avoid future
confusion.
