14.5.6 Setting Up Email Aliases for a Calendar User

If you need to setup email aliases for a calendar user, add the mailalternateaddress attribute to the user's LDAP entry. The mail attribute provides the primary mail address, and the mailalternateaddress attribute is used for email aliases. Both attributes map the mail addresses to the user’s calendar ID (calid).

You can add the attribute in the following three ways:

, using commadmin user modify -A or by directly updating LDAP with ldapmodify.


Note –

To enable these changes, you might also need to rebuild alias tables or configurations. Refer to the documentation for Messaging Server (or your email product) as well as your site's own documentation and procedures regarding changes to mail services. Messaging Server documentation is available on this at: http://docs.sun.com/coll/1312.2.
