Patch to get name and e-mail from LDAP (at login time)

[neto]

Hi,

I belive this patch can help other people with RoundCube and LDAP. At the logon time, RoundCube query an ldap server, getting name and e-mail from user (In my case, the users logon with an unique code). The information got from LDAP is saved in mysql database (identities table).

How to install:
1. Copy the file main.inc.patch (attach in this post - remove .txt extension) to directory program/include of roundcube;
2. execute: patch < main.inc.patch
3. In the config/main.inc.php file, insert:

Code Select Expand

$rcmail_config['virtuser_ldap'] = array('hosts' => 'your.ldap.server',
'port'     => 389,
'base_dn'    => 'ou=users,dc=domain,dc=com',
'name_field'  => 'cn',
'mail_field'  => 'mail',
'scope'     => 'sub');
4. Run tests. Rember, only new users (with no identities record) will be with correct name and e-mail.

There is a ticket (#1310442) requesting something like this...(I belive).

Enjoy!
Neto.

Any chance this could be updated for 0.1? I was able to get it working in RC2 but so far 0.1 is stumping me. I'm pretty sure this code now belongs in the rcube_user.inc file, but I can't make it work. Our mail server lets people log in with either their unix login or their email address (first.last). We want to make sure that their First.Last is used as their from address, and so far it seems like my two options are to get this patch working, or to have a cron that queries ldap daily and builds a new virtuser file. I'd prefer not going the virtuser file method.

yep, plz update for 0.1.1

It would be great if this were just rolled into the product, so that we don't have to patch each time a new version comes out.
