I just found what I perceive as (another) weakness in the LDAP functionality.
Running an import will overwrite any extra aliases that are configured (and probably other settings too). Using the default LDAP mappings for Active Directory (alias -> sAMAccountName), this has severe implications when adding new LDAP users to the system... With a typical use case for aliases being DID numbers, it would not be unreasonable to think that LDAP aliases and manually configured aliases should peacefully co-exist. Or am I just missing something? Also, it's being stated on the configuration page that the user id should be the users extension. With LDAP enabled, I believe it would be better to use the users' LDAP user name as the default user ID, and enable multiple aliases during import (e.g. ipPhone / businesPhone from the directory). Any comments? Best regards, Anders Mydland
