Summary

0000248: Templatable default e-mail address

Description

Currently, 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).

Notes
(0000339) user2 2011-03-18 10:40	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: http://www.clearfoundation.com/docs/developer/architecture/directory/ [^]

(0000340) pazaan (reporter) 2011-03-20 17:13	Right. We're using SOGo, so Horde/Kolab breaking is not an issue for us. Is there an acceptable workaround for 5.x?

(0000341) user2 2011-03-21 09:50	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.
