Summary0000248: Templatable default e-mail address
DescriptionCurrently, a user's e-mail address will default to username@domain (see api/User.class.php).

I would like to be able to implement a system whereby this can be changed. My specific requirement would be to change:
$ldap_object['mail'] = $this->username . "@" . $this->ldaph->GetDefaultDomain();
to:
$ldap_object['mail'] = preg_replace( '/[ \t\n]*/', '', strtolower( $ldap_object['givenName'] . "." . $ldap_object['sn'] ) ) . "@" . $this->ldaph->GetDefaultDomain();
but obviously something more flexible would be good.

I'm happy to code up this and submit it, but I would like some design direction. The easiest is just to have a combo box somewhere (Directory->Setup->Organization?) that has a simple bunch of options:
- Username
- first.last (spaces removed)
- somethingelse

A more generic way to do it is to implement some kind of templating system based on available LDAP fields, but this would get a lot more complex (and bug prone).

This work is going on right now. The "mail" attribute is going to go back to be an editable field that should represent the user's primary e-mail address. Things like Kolab/Horde, Zarafa (?) and others latch on to "mail" and we need to get away from that if possible. If you tried changing the mail attribute on a 5.x system, there's a very good chance Horde/Kolab will break!

By the way, you will start to see more information on the LDAP design here:

Right. We're using SOGo, so Horde/Kolab breaking is not an issue for us. Is there an acceptable workaround for 5.x?

Well... just changing the code as described in the bug report is a workaround. I don't think I would try to do much more than that on a 5.2 system. If a 5.3 is ever released, we can see what kind of backporting can be done from 6.0.
