I've always felt that the phone, location etc fields belonged in LDAP (or
some other directory service) and not in RT itself. So rather than
autofill from LDAP, I'd say just leave them out entirely from RT, or fetch
them directly from LDAP rather than RT's mySQL table when they are
needed.

[Rich's LDAP patch can be found in the rt-user list archive.]
