Hi, I am using authorizer to provide authentication with and LDAP system. The first login works fine – the username is correct, but upon subsequent logins, authorizer appears to create a second account with the email appendix I specify and puts the email address in the username field. Any suggestions on how to stop this behavior. Thanks!

Thanks, we’ll check it out. You have something like “@example.com” instead of an LDAP attribute in the LDAP attribute containing email address field, yes?

For us it is @sitename when LDAP doesn’t send an email value in the mail field.

I can’t seem to isolate how this happens for you. Does anything look off about the usernames or email address of the duplicate accounts, like a space at the beginning or end? Same goes for the LDAP attribute containing email address option value.

Here’s where we generate the email address if @sitename is provided in that field:
https://github.com/uhm-coe/authorizer/blob/master/src/authorizer/class-authentication.php#L709-L714

And here’s where we create a user with the email as username because authorizer thinks another (different) user already exists with the same username:
https://github.com/uhm-coe/authorizer/blob/master/src/authorizer/class-authorization.php#L200-L206

It also might have something to do with case. Do either the usernames or email addresses have mixed case (capital and lowercase letters)?
