If we want to integrate external identity provider as done in the lenya-1.2 shibboleth branch this issue will be important because user information do not persist on the system. Therefore we have to store informations, which should be persistent, as the full name, somewhere on the cms as e.g. in the metadata as Andreas proposed.
