Hi,
What is the status of this:
https://community.sophos.com/products/unified-threat-management/astaroorg/f/92/t/66530
Here Gert Hansen says:
ok, let me check how big the effort is to
a) add a special Authentication type "OpenLDAP" where these fields are prefilled, similar to eDir and AD.
b) add these fields to the generic LDAP Authentication type and ignore them as now, if they are empty.
I guess many people running an open course environment would like astaro to be able to take userdetails (like full name, email address, etc) from ldap, because openldap is 'the way to go' in an open source or mixed components network.
There is much software that CAN take details such as email address from ldap. Usually you can even specify _which_ ldap field contains the emailaddress. (because ldap is less standardised than AD for example)
Anyway, for a corporate firewall solution, we really need this functionality. (and I must also say: I'm surprised that I don't see more requests for it, here) Basically without this, the whole end-user portal is no longer functional, because astaro doesn't know user emailaddresses...
SUCH a pity...
