LifeH2O is correct in that it is the email address being populated with NULL characters added to the username.
I noticed also if i delete a test user and re-autoregister the first name last name phone and so on is not picked up. In config/modules/authentication-ldap.cfg the email variable is set email_field = mail with "mail: [email protected]" being the field returned by the LDAP server. I can see this using the unix command ldapsearch Also other prior versions of DSpace these fields are picked up okay from the same LDAP server.

How can I prevent this happening? I assume you're using autoregister = true. These are the fields that map LDAP attributes to DSpace ePerson surname and given name. Please, check that these attributes are present and have values in your LDAP. [dspace]/modules/authentication-ldap.cfg: surname_field = sn givenname_field = givenName Please, remember that if you change this, the users who already autoregistered will not have the existing values updated on login, so either try this on a new person who never logged in or delete the dspace user so that he can autoregister again upon next login.
