Any idea about the "givenName" field, which is present in some LDAP records but isn't prompted for in the form ? It's hard to change with when half the people used it in a way and the other half in another :/ --strk; ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Strk, It was a direct transcription of the fields in LDAP. No harm in changing it I imagine.

It looks like being a common issue: https://github.com/nijel/weblate/issues/812 How about just dropping one of the fields ? --strk; On Tue, May 17, 2016 at 12:01:13PM +0200, Sandro Santilli wrote: > I'm wondering why do we ask for "Full Name" and "Surname" > in the user registration form.

[OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo Userid registration - Full Name and Surname ?
I'm wondering why do we ask for "Full Name" and "Surname" in the user registration form. I find it confusing, and a quick look at the LDAP database shows it's not just me: about half the registered users put the "given name" in the "Full Name" field. Some users also have a registered "givenName" field, while others do not. So, which way is the correct way ? I could improve the form by giving instructions, but I need those instructions myself ... --strk; ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
