Display name when using LDAP authentication

[Yves]

Hi,

I've setup LDAP authentication which works fine. The only issue I have is that only the user id is properly populated. Instead of populating the name with e.g. the displayName attribute from the LDAP object, the user id is copied over to the name. Apparently there is no UserNameResolver available for LDAP. So I've created a plugin implementing this extension point but it's never invoked when authenticating with LDAP. IMHO the plugin/extension is properly implemented and installed. Why is this extension point not being invoked?

Hello Yves,

it looks like UserNameResolver is never called from anywhere (at least from core). IMO it should be called in User#get(String, boolean).

Vincent,

Yes, that's also my conclusion. That looks like a bug then.
