I find that when there is no email returned the email is assigned the
string of the netid pluss the string "null".
My test user "resotest" ends up with an email of "resotestnull".
Some debugging reveals that the call to
ConfigurationManager.getProperty("authentication-ldap",
"netid_email_domain")
Is returning not a null character but instead the string "null"
I think this is a bug.
A workaround is to add the local email netid_email_domain
to then end of the config file
authentication-ldap.cfg
I'm not sure what happens if it is left blank but don't try to enclode
text in double quotes since then the identity is impossible to delete in
the GUI.
I feel that if the config of this item is not filled in the call to
configuation manager should return a null character or an empty string.
