Don't know if this issue is solved?!
Generally it would be nice to post the solution (if found) too ...
So ...
Here is what worked out for me (myfaces + liferay 4.2.2):
in portlet.xml add:
<user-attribute>
<name>user.name.given</name>
</user-attribute>
<user-attribute>
<name>user.name.family</name>
</user-attribute>
retrieve name:
ExternalContext context=getContext();
if(context==null) return "defaultName";
Object requestObj=context.getRequest();
if(requestObj instanceof PortletRequest) {
Map userInfo=(Map)
((PortletRequest)requestObj).getAttribute(PortletRequest.USER_INFO);
String userName =
(userInfo!=null) ? (String)
userInfo.get("user.name.given")+"_"+(String)
userInfo.get("user.name.family") : null;
}
