[ZendTo] alternate AD attribute

[Travis Zimmerman]

Would it be possible to add a variable to the AD auth config to use an alternate attribute for the username?
Something like: ‘authLDAPAltAttr’     =>    ‘preferredEmail’,

Our Microsoft sysadmins had to setup a different AD for students on a different domain (my.fsu.edu<http://my.fsu.edu>) from the one used by faculty and staff (fsu.edu<http://fsu.edu>). For some reason at the time they had to store the student e-mail address in a different attribute than the standard attribute, in the normal attribute they are storing a student ID number.

Up until now I worked around this problem by using the IMAP authentication, not as nice as AD but it did the job to allow students to authenticate in, receive e-mail from the ZendTo server, and view drop-offs for them in their Inbox.

We got a new CIO at my university about a month ago and it has been decided to shutdown IMAP and SMTP completely, in favor of MAPI with MFA only. I found out that this change was being talked about last week, upper management came to a decision last Friday and plan to go ahead with this change starting next week.

I appreciate all the work you’ve put into ZendTo over the years.
