Public bug reported:

Hello there,

I just found out that email address is not fetched from LDAP server when
a user is authenticating for the first time. Institution uses only LDAP
method. "Update user info on login" is disabled, "emailfield" is set.

While browsing through auth/ldap/lib.php function:
authenticate_user_account(...) I've noticed that $ldapattributes does
not contain "emailfield" entry. Was this forgotten or excluded
purposely?

I've added (after line 125)

     $ldapattributes['email']  = $this->config['emailfield' ];

also changed line 133

     $fieldstoimport = array('firstname', 'lastname', 'email');

The problem is solved, at least for me.
