How to return real name of user Preference
I would like to get the realname from LDAP server instead of local user table. I had retrieve LDAP Preferences. $wgLDAPPreferences = array( "TESTAD"=>array( "email"=>"mail","realname"=>"cn","nickname"=>"sAMAccountName","language"=>"preferredLanguage") ); How to return user realname attribute in LDAP to the PageHistory?

Broken in 1.20.x
