Hello,
I would like to know what if it is possible to display the full name of the user (home page for example with 'Hello ful name' which is connected via LDAP instead of the uid it uses to connect . Can we configure the LDAP module?
Thank you

Hello
did not find a solution, I raise my post.
I use the LDAP authentication module for my intranet users with accounts can login with their credentials on my Drupal site and it works well. By cons I have a concern when viewing the login of the person. Indeed my LDAP is built this way:
uid = 43212, cn = Durant_Toto, dc = mydomain, dc = com
and what appears in Drupal when the user is logged is 43,212 out I wish that his name appears In Toto.
How do I do that?
Thank you

I used the Realname module to do this. http://drupal.org/project/realname
From the project page:
The Realname module lets you choose fields from the user profile that will be used to add a "real name" element (method) to a user object.
I enabled the core profile module and I also added custom profile fields in admin/user/profile then set up LDAP Data to sync the custom with data from AD that contained the first and last names, I also sync the phone number.
Then go to the Realname screen at admin/user/realname and tell it which module to use (core probably) and which fields to use and set the other optional behaviors.
Hope that helps! Agree, this might be a nice add to the docs for LDAP, perhaps even just a link as a related module and a mention in the main page would do it.
