Hello,

In my AD, I enter each user's email address. However, sometimes the email address changes for historical reasons.

As a result, a new account is created and the old one is deactivated.

Is there a way to change the email addresses in the AD without affecting Vaultwarden users, or to simply modify the email address in Vaultwarden when it changes in the AD?

Thank you.

Kind regards,

Hi @nabbou-ip2i

No, this not possible at the moment because on the "email source" side, the email address is the only identifier which is available. What could work (untested): Change the email address in Vaultwarden first, and update it in the AD.

Moreover, this is an interesting edge case which I have not considered so far - I'm happy to accept a PR adding such "migration" functionality.
