LDAP aliases integration for Nextcloud

Anyone know if mailAlias is the correct value for Cloudron's LDAP service in the setup for Provisioning configurations here, please?

Currently the mail aliases are not exposed in the user ldap responses. I am not quite sure what aliases those would be as well, as on Cloudron the mailboxes have aliases, but not users directly.

Since this question intrigued me I ran ldapsearch -H ${CLOUDRON_LDAP_URL} -D ${CLOUDRON_LDAP_BIND_DN} -w ${CLOUDRON_LDAP_BIND_PASSWORD} -b ${CLOUDRON_LDAP_USERS_BASE_DN} inside of the Nextcloud container, as this shows the whole tree. There is the mailAlternateAddress attribute in the output, but this only holds the recovery email address of the given user.

@fbartels @nebulon I see. I guess Cloudron Email Alias records are stored in the LDAP table then?

It would be handy for this integration if they were, just a good time-saver, and implementation consistency in using this provisioning setup tool for larger user groups.
