Okay, we (@duchesse) may have an issue with the potential migration to @matrix for our internal and external communication. We really want to provide an anonymous access to our public channel, but our members (current and future) have their account provided by LDAP, and we don’t want anonymous users to be able to shadow members usernames (if they didn’t create their account yet). Yet, we would like visitors to be able to pick temporary usernames. Is there a solution?
@gordon @duchesse LDAP is a bit of a mess in Matrix currently; we don't use it in the core team, and meanwhile the LDAP plugin for synapse is a bit simplistic. However: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-synapse-ldap3/blob/master/ldap_auth_provider.py#L94-L140 is where you'd put in a check to let non-LDAP usernames register. Alternatively try asking on #matrix-identity:matrix.org; it's possible mxisd could also be a solution.
