Thread:Extension talk:LDAP Authentication/Customizing displayName

Hello Ryan Lane,

We can see among others things the following fields in our Active Directory,

sAMAccountName mailNickname

We are going to make a big change in our Active Directory, the objetive is to replace the username inside the field sAMAccountName for an ID.

For example ryan.lane to 8917238917.

Following that logic every user who logs in the MediaWiki using LdapAuthentication plugin will use the logon process field sAMAccountName.

The question is: The user that show's up in the "User rights management" and "displayName", We would like to be the field mailNickname, is this possible ? Could you help us?

Thanks in advance.

James Gava
