Add e-mail, username, and search root improvements for ActiveDirectory.
Review Request #839 — Created April 26, 2009 and submitted — Latest diff uploaded
Add e-mail, username, and search root improvements for ActiveDirectory. This change makes our ActiveDirectory support more flexible in that we now use the "mail" field when available for e-mail addresses and we no longer break when "givenName" or "sn" is not available. This also introduces a "Custom search root" field in settings for users who need to fully override the search root. This change is based on a patch by Ted Dunning, but has been modified to include siteconfig settings and to break less with mail. This also fixes the givenName/sn issue on LDAP.
I don't have an ActiveDirectory setup to test. This seems pretty safe, though, and shouldn't cause regressions.
