Hallo, thanks to Bruc for the answer and to Kevin for the patch.
I think my third question about the email-address is a basic question, that not only touches shibboleth. If I understand right, the email-address is the login-name of the user and the address, where to post the alerts. Can this email-address change? perhaps if someone moves to another provider. If it could not be changes all alerts get lost and the user must create the list of alerts again. The email-address is the basic value to give the rights to a person too, isn't it? Can you be sure, that this person will keep the email-address forever? ... I think NO, because some provider assign email-address after some time again to other persons. So this person can get the password, with the forgotten call and login and have the rights of the other person before. I think pseudonym (targetedID) would be a nice feature for users, who want to use alerts and nothing else, but for the authors you need some more informations too. Coming to my final point and question: Can the email-address be replaced by a pseudonym, or isn't this imposible because of the DSpace user database.
