Hi,
After submitting a patch that automatically creates users[1] in the user table after they are authenticated through an external service (imap, ftp, smb), I need something more: A way to define a "template user" whose properties are copied whenever a new user is created automatically. This could be used to automatically assign groups and set the default language. It should also be possible to e.g. automatically set the email address from the user name when logging in via imap. What would be the best way to implement this feature? A configuration section? Creating a "default" user in the backend whose properties get copied? A hook that other apps/extensions can register to? Issues I see: - How would you define which properties get copied? - What if not the full email address is used to auth against the imap server, but only the part before the @? - What if we need several templates, for each domain one?
