Summary	0011107: Support pulling realname from LDAP: Possibility to add realname for non-LDAP-Accounts
Description	The full LDAP/AD integration of my mantis instances covers most, but not all of my accounts. I.e., for some accounts I need to define the realname (or e-mail) manually in addition to the LDAP/AD information I obtain. Now with $g_use_ldap_realname = ON; (or $g_use_ldap_email = ON; the realname (or e-mail) input fields are entirely disabled, which makes edititing difficult -- currently I'm using phpMyAdmin to directly manipulate the database. My proposal is not to disable the input fields mentioned above, at least for administrator accounts (resp. any account level which is allowed to edit user information). (This issue relates to 0010689, but I'm not allowed to define relationships).

tk 2009-11-02 03:23 reporter ~0023535	Say, worst case: most keys are in LDAP/AD, with full realname and correct email some keys are in LDAP/AD, with sometimes missing realname and/or email small number of accounts (let's call the technical accounts) is only defined in MantisBT database
