  Why?  You can just create a *new* attribute, Stripped-User-Name, with
the updated contents.  Then, configure the ldap module to look first for
Stripped-User-Name, and then User-Name:

  foo = "... %{Stripper-User-Name:%{User-Name}} ..."

  See doc/variables.txt

  Then... don't edit the User-Name.  There's no need to edit it.
