Select address to display in GAL

[gibo]

Hi, accounts in my Zimbra 5.0.5 are created as for instance 'gloker@domain.com' for 'Garry Loker' but his primary address is supposed to be 'garry.loker@domain.com'. The Canonical Address is set to the full-name address and new emails come from it just fine. The only problem is with Address Book where users are displayed with the short-name addresses. I.e. for Garry it's gloker@domain.com instead of the desired garry.loker@domain.com. Is there any way to set the preferred address that is to be displayed in GAL?

Thanks!

I, also, need to have the canonical address show up in the GAL. Is this even possible in Zimbra?

It sounds like you're referring to Bug 21188 - autocomplete Canonical address do not take precedence - which was marked as a dupe. Apparently the 'main' bug Bug 33722 - deprecate canonical address describes what the "canonical address" is.

I found a way to have GAL mail address shown as wanted. Please look at this thread : [SOLVED] Issue with email address returned by a search in the GAL...

I don't know if it's the good way to go, but it works for me.
