[webmin-l] LDAP Users and Groups - Possible bug?

[Murray T. <mtr...@ce...>]

Hi Jamie,

I noticed that the LDAP mail attribute of users created by the LDAP 
Users and Groups module is of the form firstname.surname@domain while 
the Cyrus mailbox uses the uid as its name.  This makes it difficult to 
deliver mail to the Cyrus mailbox with Postfix using LDAP alias tables 
as the mail attribute does not match the mailbox name or uid.  The 
edited entry below from the file test.ldif included with the module is 
the sort of format I think should be created.  The mail attribute is 
uid@domain and alias is firstname.surname@domain.  It looks like the 
modules behaviour was changed at some stage - deliberately or 
accidentally?  I have the module configured with the "Show fields for 
given name and surname" set to "No" as I get duplicate sn attribute 
errors with the schemas I am using if it is set to yes.  The format of 
the mail attribute may be different if it is set to yes but I can't test 
that.

Regards
