In our LDAP directory, we have users with primary and secondary email. In nextcloud, it is possible to set a primary and secondary email. However, LDAP backend offers only one field for email in Special attributes so Nextcloud can retrieve only the primary email from LDAP.
Describe the solution you'd like
A secondary email filed in Special attributes in the Advanced part of Nextcloud LDAP backend would be great to be able to automatically set both primary and secondary email.

Start with the Nextcloud LDAP backend's Advanced section and its Special attributes configuration. Trace how the existing email field is read and mapped, then verify that a configured secondary field can retrieve and set both primary and secondary email values.
