When using LDAP for user authentication the full name is set same as username, but we need the full name for display in GitLab.
Either one of these methods for setting Name for a user from LDAP Name: givenName + sn Name: displayName My LDAP configuration in /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb gitlab_rails['ldap_enabled'] = true gitlab_rails['ldap_servers'] = YAML.load <<-EOS # remember to close this block with 'EOS' below main: # 'main' is the GitLab 'provider ID' of this LDAP server label: 'LDAP' host: 'ldap.company.com' port: 389 uid: 'sAMAccountName' method: 'plain' bind_dn: 'au...@ad.company.com' password: '**************' active_directory: true allow_username_or_email_login: false base: 'dc=ad,dc=company,dc=com' user_filter: '(&(objectclass=person)(userAccountControl=512))' EOS Perhaps if this could be set in the LDAP configuration: name: displayName -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GitLab" group.
