Link Multiple email addresses to an Active Director User account

Question

_{Monday, February 5, 2018 10:02 AM}

Hi,

To my Active Directory user account in the Properties->General details i am able to link my primary email address to the User logon name.

Is there any way where i can link all my aliases for the primary email address also to my Active Directory user account.

The next question is, can i try and find out the AD User Logon name associated with primary email address. I am trying to retrieve this data my using the LDAP api on PHP side.

Thanks and Regards

Jaya Prakash

Hi Jaya Prakash Reddy,

After we enable Advanced Features on the view menu in ADUC, we can see Attributes Editor in user’s property.

You should be adding email addresses via Exchange and not ADUC.  Adding them outside of Exchange doesn't perform any checks to make sure the address is valid and not a duplicate.

You can add multiple email address. As I mentioned, you will see all these emails address in the proxyAddress attribute in User account Proprties --> Attribute Tab

Add Primary email with SMTP > SMTP:[email protected]

Add Secondary Emails with smtp > smtp:[email protected]

You need to add that via the Exchange Console or the Management Shell.

Hi,

Thanks for the clear explanation.

I just wanted to know one more thing.

How can i authenticate LDAP using my proxy addresses set in the AD.

Thanks and Regards

No need to do anything additionally. 

Any Administrator can set Proxy Address.. Proxy address use for deliver email only.

It's not use for LDAP authenticating.. UPN is used for LDAP authentication...

If you are  use Proxy as UPN, It's automatically authenticate with LDAP

Hi,

That helps a lot.

But is there a way where i can retrieve the proxyAddresses attribute through

LDAP Search.

E.g: I try and login using my UPN, and then retrieve all the proxyAddresses associated with that particular UPN.

Thanks and Regards
