Hi!
Out DIT holds user entries that have multiple "mail" attributes (main email, aliases). Here is an example entry: dn: eduPersonPrincipalName=user@example.com,dc=example,dc=com mail: nickname@example.com mail: user@example.com mail: user.name@example.com
Our application (e.g. WordPress) authenticates against the 389DS and also pull some additional attributes, needed by the application. In this case the email address. The application picks up the first mail attribute received and uses it as the user's email. In this case would be "nickname@example.com", which is unwanted. The desired outcome would be the "user.name@example.com" displayed as first. By what algorithm/logic do the attributes get sorted? Time added perhaps?
Undefined.
Is there any way of influencing this sorting?
No.
We were also thinking of putting the "main" email into another attribute. Which attribute would be appropriate for something like this?
There is an attribute 'mailAlternateAddress' - not sure what it is used for
