#9336 Allow custom real name in IPA-EPN
Closed: fixed a year ago by frenaud. Opened 2 years ago by smirta.

Request for enhancement

As an admin I want to be able to set the real name of the sender of password expiration emails to something else than "IPA-EPN".

Issue

We regularly receive support requests because people think something named "IPA-EPN" sending emails with sender address of the IT department must be spam.

Actual behavior

Sender is "IPA-EPN" itdepartment@company.com

Expected behavior

Sender is e.g. "IT Department" itdepartment@company.com

Version/Release/Distribution

$ rpm -q freeipa-server freeipa-client ipa-server ipa-client 389-ds-base pki-ca krb5-server

I have made a PR for that here: https://github.com/freeipa/freeipa/pull/6715

Although I'm pretty sure this works right away, I'd need some support in testing and probably linting it.
