Topic on Extension talk:LDAPProvider

In our ldap we allow users to have more than one "mailbox" or aliases or mail attribute values. When they do this property is returned as an array versus a string when there is only one value. So I get "array" returned instead of the mail[0] value...

How can I change:

"email" => "mail"

To be a valid setting which will return either the normal single value or the first array element, Something like:

"email" => "mail[0]" || "mail"

If "mail[0]" returns, use that, if not then use "mail"

This is in our $LDAPProviderDomainConfigProvider as $config = [ "LDAP" => [ "usserinfo" => [ "attributes-map" => [ "email" => "mail" ] ] ] ]

Thanks for any ideas on a solution.

Thanks for reporting. I have created a Task on phabricator. I will try to have this in the next version.

As a workaround, you may hack LDAPProvider/src/UserInfoRequest.php and add the following to line 95 (https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-LDAPProvider/blob/1.0.4/src/UserInfoRequest.php#L95)):

UNTESTED example:

if ( is_array( $res['mail'] ) ) {
    $res['mail'] = $res['mail'][0];
}

This is most likely fixed by a change created for Topic:Xrjdxrk0wfedfu9g
