Hi,

I'm using LDAPAuthPlugin - everithing work fine but when I'm sending mail in FROM field there is only "user@" (without display name and domain).

Is it posible to to get automaticly display name from AD, to sending mail from <FirstName LastName> user@domain.pl?

LDAP authentication layer is provided on AS IS basis (and is not available for current version 7 of the product). You can certainly modify both the plugin and the WebMail code. But if you might require assistance from the product developers on this, consider arranging Professional Services contract.

What do you mean? I have this version and plugin works. Is this means that "officially" You do not support it?

OK, rework the code is not a problem for me. Can you tell me just a hint at what files (beyond the plugin) look for code that is responsible for assigned values ​​displayName?

Well, we didn't test it with version 7 yet. Due to major changes in product architecture, many plugins will require updating, and that process is still at its initial stage. So if the plugin actually works with v7, that's great news!

Not sure about the code level, that would require involving the developers. Anyway, the value is taken from friendly_nm field of awm_accounts database table. In your scenario, you'd probably need to populate that field's value from AD.

I was wrong - when I remove plugin entries from the config.php file or when I set plugins.ldap-auth to FALSE I still can log in to the system and see my mail. So it appears that the system is natively integrated with LDAP, or as something I do not understand?
Sorry for the stupid question, I'm new to your system ;-)

In terms of WebMail Pro, LDAP authentication was never designed as self-sufficient one. If you have this feature enabled, LDAP authentication will be used additionally to standard IMAP authentication, and user will only pass through if both authentications are successful. So if you disable LDAP auth, only IMAP auth is used.
