LDAP with different username and mail address?

Hi,
will be working external LDAP auth/autoprovisioning with different login username and mail address?
I need this scenario:
User: John Doe
email: john.doe@domain.com
external LDAP/AD username: doej

My goal is login with external LDAP/AD loginname (doej) into autoprovisioned zimbra account (john.doe@domain.com)

I think problematic part is

Code: Select all

md domain.com zimbraAutoProvAccountNameMap "mail"

With this, Zimbra try create new account with name john.doe@domain.com@domain.com (domain part is doubled) -> ERROR
In attribute MAIL in AD I need full mail address - for authentication and provisioning in another SW.

For now, ugly workaround is using another LDAP/AD attribute filled with short mail address (without @domain.com). I use attribute Descriprion. For login I cannot use LDAP/AD loginname, but value of Description (john.doe)
Why, if we have standart mail attribute in LDAP/AD?

Is there any future plan for solving this problem? Maybe in 7.8 GA ?

Thanks.
