Thread:Extension talk:LDAP Authentication/Patch not to override user preferences

Hello

I'm not sure this is a place for a patch so tell me if I'm wrong.

I want to load user attributes from LDAP while allowing users to change their nicknames(or signatures) or real names. So I added an option to control whether override the current MediaWiki user preferences or not.

I'm submitting the patch. I would like to have this feature in the extension.

patch:

Options shall be specified like this: If not specified, user preferences will be overridden.
