I all pedagogikk er det essensielt at pensum presenteres intelligibelt. Det er et elementært imperativ for alle pedagoger å unngå eksessiv anvendelse av idiomer med xenotyp etymologi. I de fleste tilfeller eksisterer adekvate og relevante synonymer på norsk.

Hi all

We're using LDAP (AD) for authentication and this works well. When a user sends an email from address@concealed, it all works well. However, a lot of users are used to using address@concealed. If this is used, the email is rejected by sympa. So, I checked and the alternate address is in proxyAddresses in LDAP - fine - let's add that. Those addresses are prefixed with the protocol (smtp, sip or x500 in this  case), so I found (somewhere) that using the select line below, should help to clean this up. Going further, I've enabled merge_feature in sympa.conf and I start testing. It works well from address@concealed, vut if I try from address@concealed, the email is silently discarded, never to be seen again.

Can anyone find an obvious error below (that is, from auth.conf), please tell!

thanks in advance

--- ldap.conf

ldap

    regexp my\.tld

    host ldap.my.tld:636

    timeout 30

    suffix OU=something,DC=strange,DC=my,DC=tld

    bind_dn ldap_bind_acct

    bind_password topsecret

    get_dn_by_uid_filter (uid=[sender])

    get_dn_by_email_filter (|(mail=[sender])(proxyAddresses=[sender]))

</snip>

I tried to change the above to these

    get_dn_by_uid_filter        (|(uid=[sender])(proxyAddresses=smtp:[sender]))

    get_dn_by_email_filter      (|(mail=[sender])(proxyAddresses=smtp:[sender]))

…which looks better, but still doesn't work. Anyone with an idea?
