Setting Up an Alternate Email Address for a User

If you need to set up an email aliase for a calendar user, use the LDAP mailalternateaddress attribute. The LDAP mail attribute provides the primary email address. The LDAP mailalternateaddress attribute provides for alternate email addresses for a user. Both attributes map the mail addresses to the user’s ID.

For example, a user named John Smith has these values:

• User ID (uid): johnsmith

• Email address: john.smith@sesta.com

• Email aliases: johns@sesta.com and jsmith@sesta.com

To add an email alias or alternate address for John Smith, enter these Calendar Server utility commands:

# ./csuser -g John -s Smith -y password -l en -m john.smith@sesta.com 
\ -c johnsmith create johnsmith
# ./csattribute -a mailalternateaddress=johns@sesta.com add johnsmith
# ./csattribute -a mailalternateaddress=jsmith@sesta.com add johnsmith
