The getAttributes method right now is only used to check a password I
believe (although I haven't looked at the LDAP implementation in detail).
You're also asking for possibly some LDAP specific functionality that most
UserRepository would not have. I think it's best to create a separate set
of code to access your LDAP server from a mailet rather than trying to piggy
back on the UserLDAPRepository. Charles Bennett wrote the
UserLDAPRepository and he can probably help if you want to extend this
functionality, but I think as a general rule for now, the UserRepository
shouldn't be part of the mailet API. Maybe we should change that though.
Sorry for the brievity and delay in my response, but I've been very busy and
have a lot of JAMES e-mails to catch up on.
