While I was trying to integrate and customize roundcube to our department's
system, I submitted some small patches to trac. I think they will be useful for
some setups, the forum and tracker has some requests for these features.


1. The first one presents the "edit identity" screen when the user is recorded
in roundcube database for the first time. In our system, the user's name was
not correctly pulled from ldap while auto creating, so I added this to send the
user to edit identity screen. If users are not auto created, the administrator
probably entered correct info in the first place, so depending on auto user
creation is reasonable.

This patch is obsoleted by the following patch in our system but it can be
useful on other places. Having the user double check the name and email is
never bad, and can help catching typos or other errors in the system :)


2. Then for LDAP integration. I modified Gerald Schneider's old patches at the
following address.

The patch adds a new configuration option, and searches LDAP for user's real
name and uses it as identity.

3. This third one is very site-specific IMO. But It has no side effects, so it
can be safely included. adds '@' + 'mail_domain' if the e-mail address from
LDAP does not include '@' sign. Our emails are of the form
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and there is not a seperate field for e-mail in LDAP, so
they are autogenerated by this patch.
