I use this:

LDAP_USER_EXISTS = ${lookup ldap {ldap:///ou=People,dc=lobefin,dc=net??sub?(&(accountStatus=active)(uid=${quote_ldap:$local_part}))} {$value}{}}

Followed by:

ldap_lookup:
debug_print = "R: ldap_lookup for $local_part@$domain"
driver = redirect
address_data = LDAP_USER_EXISTS
data =

Followed by some other routers that deal with the data.

I use:
user = ${extract{uidNumber}{$address_data}}
group = ${extract{gidNumber}{$address_data}}
