You really don't want RealName there, otherwise
RT::Authen::ExternalAuth will disallow two people named Bob Smith.

You'd have to extend the module to use more than just the Name in the

some of that code, but it concentrates on alternate email addresses
not alternate uids.  It may make doing what you want easier though.
