share calendar, address book using canonical address

[Artturi]

Hello,

In our school, we have accounts stored in a ldap server, using 'uid' field accross all the systems to authenticate users.

In zimbra (v4.5.4), we therefore have 2 addresses per user :

• uid@ourdomain
• forename.surname@ourdomain

As uid can be something like 03asy01021, we mainly use the latter form.

Problem arise when sharing through zimbra as only uid@ourdomain is permitted.

Is this something already listed in the bug database ?

Regards,

Hi,

I'm having a similar request. We are hosting individual users on Zimbra. We give users an address of username@domain.com. Now, many times our users want outgoing mail to come from user@company.com, so we set their canonical address to user@company.com. However, when creating a calendar appointment and inviting others to that meeting, it sends out from the username@domain.com, not the canonical address user@company.com.

Is there anyway to make Zimbra send out appointment invites using the canonical address?

Thanks!

This seems to be an old thread and is not marked as SOLVED.

Can I safely assume this feature is not available yet? I just came across this issue during our Zimbra Pilot and that looks like a big negative point.

I think the main bug for this issue is this one.
