My forum is internal, consists only of LDAP users all on the same domain and I've disabled registration since the LDAP auth code can create a new user. I've made a user profile field set to displayname but if I don't have to go through and modify the template to show the displayname userfield in lieu of username, that would be awesome.

Unless it's easier now to modify the template using the built-in search/replace? Suggestions or ideas?

rguser: Did you ever find a good solution to this? The LDAP passes their employee ID as their user logon (required). But I would rather have all their posts show as their LDAP "displayName."

The closest I got was to modify the product-ldap_auth-1.5.1_vb4.xml to set the usertitle to the LDAP displayName so at least their name is below their employee ID.

I'd like to know how you worked around this.

PHP Code:

} else {
      ($debug = $debug ) ? print_log("New user. Creating with info from ldap") : false;
      $newuser->set('email', strtolower($userData[0]['mail'][0]));
      $newuser->set('customtitle', 2);
      $newuser->set('usertitle', ($userData[0]['displayName'][0]));
      $newuser->set('username', $vbulletin->GPC['vb_login_username']);
      $newuser->set('usergroupid', 2);
      $newuser->set_bitfield('options', 'adminemail', true);
      $newuser->set_bitfield('options', 'emailonpm', true);
      $newuser->set_bitfield('options', 'vm_enable', true);
      $newuser->set('pmpopup', 1);
      $newuser->set('password', $passwd);
      $vbulletin->db->query_first_slave("
      UPDATE ".TABLE_PREFIX."user
      SET ldap=true
      WHERE username='". $vbulletin->GPC['vb_login_username'] ."'");
