Topic: Add fields to Roundcube LDAP address book?

==== Required information ====
- iRedMail version (check /etc/iredmail-release): 0.9.5-1
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version: CentOS 7.3
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL): LDAP
- Web server (Apache or Nginx): Apache
- Manage mail accounts with iRedAdmin-Pro? Yes
- Related log if you're reporting an issue: NA
====

I have a requirement to add a "backupMailAddress" attribute to my LDAP addressbook to store a "home/personal" email address, and be user-editable in Roudcube's Global LDAP Address Book.

So far, I've managed to make the address book editable, but I cannot see how/where I'd go about adding a custom field like "Home Email Address" that's tied to the backupMailAddress LDAP attribute.

Is this doable?  Is there another or better way?

Didn't try it before. Might be better to ask in Roundcube mailing list instead.

Re: Add fields to Roundcube LDAP address book?

Figured it out!

In roundcube's config.inc.php, you need to change the ldap field definition for email as follows:

        // 'email'       => 'mail:*',
        'email:work'  => 'mail',
        'email:other' => 'backupMailAddress',

And make the address book editable:

// 'writable'      => false,
'writable'      => true,

Then, in your slapd.conf file, allow users to write to backupMailAddress and other users to read that value:

# Allow to read others public info.
access to attrs="cn,sn,gn,givenName,telephoneNumber,backupmailaddress"
    by anonymous    auth
    by self         write
    by dn.exact="cn=vmail,dc=youcantspoilababy,dc=org"   read
    by dn.exact="cn=vmailadmin,dc=youcantspoilababy,dc=org"  write
    by users        read

That's it!  Now your users can add an alternate email address in the address book, and other users can view it.
