Yes, you can do it, using the local_part_prefix operator.
Whether it's wise to do so or not is entirely up to you...
ldapfirstlast:
driver = redirect
local_part_suffix = .*
data = ${lookup ldap { \
user=LDAPU \
pass=LDAPP \
LDAPS/LDAP_BASE?\
uid?sub?(&(givenName=${quote_ldap:$local_part})(sn=${quote_ldap:${substr_1:$local_part_suffix}}))}\
{$value} fail}
Here, LDAPU, LDAPP, specify the binding user and password,
LDAPS is the URI ldaps://ldap_server and LDAP_BASE is the base of the search, so
would be of the form ou=accounts,dc=whatever.
