[ZendTo] alternate AD attribute

[Scott Silva]

It does sound like someone making rules that doesn’t know how things work to me…
That would eliminate macs onless they have office, it would kill Linux workstations, and cell phones.

I’m assuming they plan to use some Exchange only tech for sending e-mail, I would have to ask the Microsoft team here how that will work. This is just what was laid out in an e-mail sent to my department by the university’s CIO, no real specifics given just goals.

No SMTP?  How are they going to send email to other domains?

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.
