Hi, I have just followed the Stephen's help and I was able to add the mailAlternateAddress to the ipa default user schema. I don't know if this is the better way to do this btw it works great. Thanks again guys. <div class="gmail_quote">2012/6/21 Stephen Ingram <<a href="mailto:sbingram@gmail.com" target="_blank">sbingram@gmail.com</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> <div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5">On Thu, Jun 21, 2012 at 2:06 PM, James James <<a href="mailto:jreg2k@gmail.com">jreg2k@gmail.com</a>> wrote: > Hi everybody, > > Is it possible to have a procedure to add new attributes like > mailAlternateAddress in the default user schema ? </div></div>That particular attribute is included in the schema (objectclass=mailRecipient) so it is easy to add using the ipa user-mod --addattr command. I then followed Adam Young's instructions to change the interface such that we could view/edit the new attribute in the UI: 1. Edit the /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ipalib/plugins/user.py to include the new field 2. Add an entry to /usr/share/ipa/ui/user.js for the new value 3. Don't forget to restart httpd and refresh your browser cache to pick up the new fields We needed that instead of using the multi-valued mail attribute because there are circumstances where we need to differentiate between the "master" email address and aliases. It's easy to add though and works great. I certainly wouldn't want to be in the position of adding lots of attributes not already included in IPA, but a one or two-off seems pretty reasonable to manage. I don't know if it's still in the I'm sure *very* future plans for IPA, but I remember seeing some application (MTA, mail store) support mentioned at one time. These sorts of attributes might be nice to have if and when that happens. Steve </blockquote></div>
