[Maia-users] Effects of LDAP auth

[Robert Fitzpatrick]

Don't know if my messing with settings over the past couple of months of
testing has something messed up, but I'm trying the LDAP auth with maia
to find some things I hope can be adjusted. When I create a new e-mail
address/alias, it creates the new user as just the user name portion of
the e-mail address. So, if I create a new email address of the same user
name on a different domain, no user is created, only an alias (I
assume). How can I get this to work like internal, creating users with
complete e-mail address? Is there a good post or doc for details on how
the LDAP auth works? As in what it does exactly with the result
attribute, etc.

Also, I found a patch in the wiki for collecting all mail address for a
user when they login and making them aliases. It was for MS AD, but I'm
going to try and edit for OpenLDAP. My problem is I've never patched
anything before, how is that done? Or, since I am editing anyway, I can
just add those lines with '+' before them and take out those with '-'
before them? But I think there is also a patch for expanding the e-mail
field for CSV input and I'd like to find it and apply.
