Sebb commented on WHIMSY-200:
-----------------------------
It turns out that givenName attribute can be deleted (but cannot be set to an
empty string)
So if a person's public name consists of a single word, a solution is to put:
cn=public name
sn=public name
and delete givenName
Whimsy already allows for a missing givenName in various places
> Public name from ICLA prioritized over Full Name

> Key: WHIMSY-200
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIMSY-200
> Project: Whimsy
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: General
> Reporter: Chris Thistlethwaite
> Priority: Minor
>
> Recently there have been a few new accounts that made their way into
> new-account-reqs.txt that only have a single name in the full name field.
> While there are instances where single names are appropriate, it seems that
> if someone fills out "public name" and "full name", then "public name" gets
> submitted as their full name. Single names cause the make-accounts.sh script
> to fail (as LDAP is looking for first and last name).
> The work around is someone from Infra (me) has to look up their ICLA and find
> their actual full name, edit new-account-reqs.txt, then re-run the account
> creation script.
