Scripted Auth in 4.3 with User Email

Anyone get Scripted Auth working in 4.3 (or any other version) where the user's email address is populated? I can't find any way to do this in the documentation, but seems necessary because so much of what can be done with Splunk assumes that you have an email address. What makes this much worse is that users who have been populated with Scripted Auth cannot be edited from within the Manager UI, so I am unable to set the users' email addresses manually, as well.

I am currently using PAM auth (by necessity -- don't ask), and I can easily use an algorithm to set the user's email address, if only I knew where. In that past I've used Splunk with AD/LDAP auth and had no trouble with email address population.

In that past I've used Splunk with AD/LDAP auth and had no trouble with email address population.
How ? Can you demonstrate the config/mapping that populates the email address from AD ??

Thanks
