Gitlab login LDAP user without e-mail - ldap

Question

In my organization, some users don't have an e-mail address. At the e-mail field in ActiveDirectory, they have a fake (malformed) e-mail address, something like "user.name#xx".
When these users try to login into Gitlab, they get the following error:
'Could not authorize you from LDAP because "Validation failed: email is invalid, email is invalid".'
Is there any configuration to ignore email adress checking with LDAP?

The issue 6230 has been tracking this:
The mail validation on user model is performed by validation here: app/models/user.rb.
I think you can configure your own regexp here: config/initializers/devise.rb.
However, the official statement is:
Disabling validation is not something that will be done on GitLab side. This can lead to inconsistencies in the database and could cause a plethora of issues.
I suggest you :
either fix your LDAP
or have allow_username_or_email_login setting enabled: https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/blob/master/config/gitlab.yml.example#L130
This is issue is a support question so I will point you to the contributing guide and close it.
Not directly with GitLab itself, because that error message is the result of an omniauth callback: see config/locales/devise.en.yml:
omniauth_callbacks:
success: 'Successfully authorized from %{kind} account.'
failure: 'Could not authorize you from %{kind} because "%{reason}".'
Yet, the Rodrigo Carvalho reports in the comments:
I actually discovered this is a Gitlab behaviour.
I changed the "/lib/gitlab/oauth/user.rb" (Gitlab code) to append a ".com" in the end of the invalid email address and it worked.
