Domain config settings

Name	Default	Description
userinfo.attributes-map	{ "email": "mail", "realname": "cn", "properties.gender": "gender" }

Note that Extension:LDAPProvider itself has the very similar settings realnameattribute and emailattribute, possibly leading to confusion and misconfiguration (see e.g. this topic). The relation between these similar attributes is …… (TODO could somebody please explain?)

Example

$LDAPProviderDomainConfigProvider = function() {
	$config = [
		'company.local' => [
			'connection' => [
				"server" => "ldap.company.local",
				…
				"searchattribute" => "uid",
				"usernameattribute" => "uid",
				"realnameattribute" => "fullname",
				"emailattribute" => "mail",
			],
			…
			'userinfo' => [
				'attributes-map' => [
					'email' => 'mail',
					'realname' => 'fullname'
				]
			]
		]
	];
