ownCloud Avatar integration
---------------------------
ownCloud 6 incorporates a user profile picture feature, called Avatar. If a user
has a photo stored in the *jpegPhoto* attribute, it will be used as Avatar. The
user then is not able to change his avatar in the personal settings. It must be
done within LDAP.
If the *jpegPhoto* attribute is not set or empty, the default ownCloud behaviour
is active, i.e. the user will be able to set and change his profile picture in
the personal settings. If the user sets a profile picture within ownCloud it
will _not_ be stored in LDAP.
The *jpegPhoto* attribute will be fetched once a day to make sure the current
photo from LDAP is used in ownCloud. If a picture is added later, a possibly set
profile picture will be overridden with the LDAP one. If a photo stored in the
*jpegPhoto* attribute is deleted later, the last profile picture in ownCloud
will still be used.
The photo taken from LDAP will be adjusted to the requirements of the ownCloud
avatar automatically. I.e. it will be transformed into a square. If the photo
needs to be cut, it will be done equally from both affected sides. The original
photo stored in LDAP will stay the same, of course.
