Hi Benjamin, well, a workaround would be to just make your own auth plugin as a copy of ShibAuthentication.java (don't just change it without renaming it because it would be just overwritten during your next upgrade) - change the file name, class name and the getLogger() argument. Then just assign String fname = NULL; and String lname = NULL; (or you can use some fixed strings like 'University' and 'student'), specify your plugin's name in [dspace-src]/dspace/config/modules/authentication.cfg, rebuild and redeploy DSpace.
