Offer LDAP setting option to not put 2nd User Display Name in brackets #36824

Open rasos opened 1 year ago

rasos commented 1 year ago

We store in our LDAP firstname cn (Maria) and lastname sn (Tester) as separate fields and do not provide combined displayName (Maria Tester).

Thus we have defined sn as a 2nd User Display Name Field in the advanced LDAP settings. However, this field is always shown in brackets as Maria (Tester) (even in avatars as M(T)) which is annoying to users.

We suggest to add two options to the advanced LDAP settings:

The latter is very useful when you have an international user base, where you often have to guess what is the first and the last name: Maria TESTER.

It would also be interesting to have the option to capitalize users fullname, i.e, cn and sn, since in our LDAP database they are stored in lowercase; This way we would have the option to show them(cn + sn) starting with uppercase as the displayName of the Dashboard app, e.g. Hello, Xabier Etxeberria

I have also launched the proposal in the help forum
