[Rt-devel] RTx::EmailCompletion with LDAP : testers needed

[Nicolas Chuche]

Hello,

New rc available http://gaspard.mine.nu/RTx-EmailCompletion-0.03rc2.tar.gz

> * Added EmailCompletionLdapUser and EmailCompletionLdapPass
> configuration variables to support LDAP servers that don't allow
> anonymous binding
>
> * Sorted the results of the LDAP search

Ok got it. I've change it a bit and applied it.

The best idea I can think of (is it english ?) is to verify that
LdapServer and EmailCompletionLdapServer are the same and if not,
don't fallback to LdapUser/LdapPass. I will do that way for the
moment. If you have a better idea, let me know.

I will keep the fallback for EmailCompletionBase and
EmailCompletionFilter because it seems good for those two.

Quite easy, LDAP emails now have light grey background. If you have a
better idea or a better color, let me know.

By the way, thanks for the patch and for your help.
