[Freeipa-users] Add extra infofield to user

[Matt .]

Hi,

I need to make sure I have a primary one which is mail, the other ones
should not matter, but I think it's wiser to have it like I know what
is where.

The reason why I need to is because I'm using Kolab which needs at
least a primary mail attribute.

Cheers,

Matt
