Re: User's login vs. emails

Ok. I got the point.

Just one of your statements is a little incorrect.

I just release into production an LDAP based authentication environment and with this configuration.

The mail goes to the login >> from the LDAP.

Currently what is being displayed with label "email" is the field called
"login". If you create a user with a login field which contains an "@"
character, Odoo will silently copy the value of the login field to the
related partner's email address. If not, then you get a user without an
email, and he can't do much as pretty soon the email address will be
required to interact with a mail.thread record. However, this is not
obvious as the partner related to the user is hidden unless you're in
debug mode.

As I mentionned, the auth_ldap module for instance, will synchronize
login and not emails and pretty soon you will run into this, and get
confused users who input their email in the login screen as requested,
but this won't work because the user authentication is performed agains
the login field.

What I'm proposing is a module that people don't have to install at all,
that will restore the possibility to create a user with a login and an
email, and change the label of the login screen and the res.user views.
