Manage LDAP phone extension attribute

[DavidePrincipi]

Manage the LDAP phone extension attribute from cluster-admin. The extension cannot be changed with external account providers.

Proposed solution

• Allow to modify the LDAP phone extension attribute for both AD and OpenLDAP internal providers
• Modify the attribute from both cluster-admin and user-portal UI
• [optional] Mange the phone extension value with existing CSV import/export functions.

Alternative solutions

None

In Testing core:3.22.0-dev.9, samba:3.5.0-dev.1, openldap:2.8.0-dev.1

Test case 1

For both cluster-admin and user-portal UI, for both Samba and OpenLDAP internal providers:

1. Create an user myuser, set Email and Phone extension fields, save it. Check LDAP attribute values.
2. Clear the fields and save it. Check LDAP attribute values.
3. Edit the user and change field values again. Check LDAP attribute values.

To check the LDAP attribute values:

runagent -m samba1 podman exec samba-dc samba-tool user show myuser | grep -E '(telephoneNumber|mail): '
runagent -m openldap1 podman exec openldap ldapsearch uid=myuser telephoneNumber mail

After each step the saved value must be saved in LDAP. Expect the attribute is missing when an empty string is saved.

Test case 2

• Create a new user with import-users, myuser2, setting both mail and telephoneNumber. Then export the full users list.
• Use the import-users and export-users to modify the mail and telephoneNumber values, passing also through value "".
