Is this how both users appear in IPA?

So in looking at the user records, neither user has a mail attribute. So when trying to authenticate via LDAP, it can't find the requested email attribute for the user, so it fails appropriately. 

In order for them to use email addresses as logins, each user would need a mail attribute added to their LDAP record.

Please see comments 6 and 7, which indicate this functionality is not
yet supported.

R&D will have to verify when the IPA change is rolled out.
