Retrieve e-mail addresses from LDAP
-----------------------------------

                 Key: RTFACT-1027
                 URL: http://www.jfrog.org/jira/browse/RTFACT-1027
             Project: Artifactory
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Web UI
    Affects Versions: 1.3.0-beta-6
            Reporter: Tuomas Jormola
            Assignee: Yoav Landman


Typically, when storing user information in LDAP, there's also an attribute for user's e-mail address. I think it would be pretty neat that you could configure search pattern for retrieving the user's email address and use this value as the e-mail address when creating the matching entry in the Archiva user database. Snippet from possible configuration:

        <ldapSettings>
            <ldapSetting>
                <key>ldap1</key>
                <enabled>true</enabled>
                <ldapUrl>ldap://example.com</ldapUrl>
                <search>
                    <searchFilter>sAMAccountName={0}</searchFilter>
                    <searchBase>dc=example,dc=com</searchBase>
                    <emailAttribute>mail</emailAttribute>
                    <emailFilter>sAMAccountName={0}</emailFilter>
                    <managerDn>cn=archivauser,dc=example,dc=com</managerDn>
                    <managerPassword>password</managerPassword>
                </search>
            </ldapSetting>
        </ldapSettings>

So after the user's password has been verified, the query specified in <emailFilter/> is run against the LDAP server (with {0} replaced with the user name) and value of the attribute specified in <emailAttribute/> is used as the email address, provided that the search returned exactly one match and that the configured attribute exists in the result.
