Description
When I read this description of the setting:
> E-mail Address Suffix
> Appended to usernames to generate e-mail addresses for users that have none in LDAP. Set to, e.g., "@localhost.com".
I didn't expect the suffix to be added when looking for a matching uid, but that it was only used to construct an e-mail address if none was found in the LDAP record.
So when I filled this in, I shut myself out of the system.

Research direction
Start by tracing the “E-mail Address Suffix” setting through the LDAP authentication and user lookup paths; the payload names no files or tests. Confirm where the suffix is applied during ldap_search and where fallback e-mail addresses are generated. Done means usernames are searched without the suffix, while the suffix is used only when an LDAP record lacks an e-mail address.
