The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Allison Jones <address@concealed>]

We've installed a CAS server, and sympa is authenticating against it.  
I've come across a problem that I'm hoping someone can shed some light 
on.  We are going to use the CAS server for a variety of in-house 
applications, as well as Drupal and Sympa.  The way the CAS server 
authenticates users is via user id, ex) ajones.  Sympa then pulls the 
e-mail attribute as specified in the CAS paragraph in the auth.conf 
file.  So far, so good.

Is there any way to keep track of the uid (ex. ajones) in sympa?  Right 
now, if a user changes their e-mail address using our account management 
tools, sympa has no way of knowing that the user has changed their 
e-mail address.  I see that Shibboleth can use the netidmap table to 
accomplish this.   Also, is there a way to pull the gecos_user for 
sympa's user table from ldap and populate it?

Thanks,

Allison
