Error description
Change in behavior from previous releases of BPM and WLE. When wimconfig.xml repository value for userDisplayNameMapping was set to "displayName", the displayName attribute from the LDAP user entry was used for the user's fullname. This causes confusion in several of the UIs, such as: * Process Admin Console's Group Management "Add Users" retrieval * Process Admin Console's "Bulk User Attributes" retrieve by name * Process Portal "Welcome"
Local fix
Problem summary
BPM retrieves 'cn' instead of 'displayname' from LDAP in order to represent the full name PROBLEM DETAILED DESCRIPTION: This problem was introduced in BPM 8.0.0.0. There was a new method for vmm implemented which is using 'cn' instead of 'displayName'. If you log in Process Portal you will, as well, see the cn instead of the display name in right upper corner. Another way is to search for an LDAP user by using the name filter in BPM REST API Tester > Organization API > Users. And if you want to reproduce the problem in the Process Admin you can go to Server Admin > User Management > Bulk User Attribute Assignment and search for a specific LDAP user. If you open the table LSW_USR_XREF from BPM database you will see the content of the LDAP attribute 'cn' in the column FULL_NAME.
Problem conclusion
There is a new configuration option available in the 100Custom.xml file that enables the configuration of the full name or former display name mapping from LDAP via VMM to BPM.
