Hi Stefanie, I tried reproducing the problem with nulls but couldn't, neither with flat nor hierarchical LDAP.
The only thing that I see potentially wrong with your config is that you set email_field = mail, while it needs to be email_field = uid. This is an unfortunate assumption of the DSpace authn system (login=email) that doesn't sit well with LDAP, but fixing it would be quite an extensive change, so try this workaround for now. The consequence is that your LDAP users won't have a valid email address in DSpace, so subscriptions won't work for them.
