FILE SHARING EMAIL FIELD AUTOPOPULATED FOR LDAP USERS

Serv-U 15.1.0 contains some improvements in this area.

• LDAP users should still auto-populate the full name and email address according to the values coming from the LDAP server.  If they're not, then the attribute mappings may not be correctly configured. 
• AD users should now see their full name and email address get auto-populated in these fields as the values are now being retrieved from the AD server.
• The File Sharing Wizards no longer ask you to enter in your email address twice.  In fact, this field is now optional (although it's required if you want Serv-U to send the invitation itself).

So i see where you are using LDAP.  How can you solve this if you are just using Windows Authentication?

Not sure if you have all found a resolution to this as yet - but I have had no issue with this (once I got through the slightly esoteric way the LDAP groups had to be configured at multiple levels to mimic the AD structure through to the user groups I wanted).  Following is a screen shot of a test user account logged in to file sharing on our system (from the "send a file" screen).  Name & email fields populate automatically with the correct info:

If your system is not populating the e-mail address field, best guess is this would tend to indicate the LDAP server attribute mapping (Users --> LDAP Authentication --> LDAP Servers & edit your host server) is not quite correct.  For our system the Email Address attribute being set to "mail" (case sensitive, I believe) works.

If using AD for your LDAP source, csvde or a util like "AD Info" will tell you if this field is populated for a group of users (or if looking for just one user, ADUC user properties, email address in the General tab).

List of attribute fields (in case anyone finds this useful - but all as I found documented):

Base DN:     Whatever for your domain

Search Filter:     (&(objectclass=user)(userPrincipalName=$LoginID))

Home Directory:     Didn't use this - server has local folders

Full Name:     name

Email Address:     mail

Login ID:     userPrincipalName

Group Membership:     memberOf
