How can I create multiple contacts in LDAP with the same email address?

Question

I installed LDAP and phpLDAPadmin following this tutorial, and so far it is working.

Now I am trying to create an entry in the address book with a duplicate email address.

I'm trying to set up contact sharing in outlook, but we have groups of employees that share a common email address.

For example:

• There are three people in team A.
• All three people share the email address [email protected].
• Each contact has their email address set to that address.

Creating the first contact works, but I cannot create the next contact because the email is already in use.

How I can create multiple contacts with the same email address in LDAP?

Example of my ldif file:

dn: cn=MrA,ou=MyOu,dc=MyDomain,dc=com
cn: MrA
givenname: MrA
mail: [email protected]
objectclass: inetOrgPerson
objectclass: top
sn: Mr

dn: cn=MrB,ou=MyOu,dc=MyDomain,dc=com
cn: MrB
givenname: MrB
mail: [email protected]   <= If I don't put email, MrB added successfully
objectclass: inetOrgPerson
objectclass: top
sn: MrB

I tried modifying /etc/ldap/schema/core.schema and other schema files, but nothing that I did fixed the problem.

FIND IT !!

in /etc/phpldapadmin/config.php

comment this :

//# $servers->setValue('unique','attrs',array('mail','uid','uidNumber'));

and put

$servers->setValue('unique','attrs',array('uid','uidNumber'));

Thanks all :)
