Hello,

We've got our RoundCube install tied into our LDAP server, and we'd like to populate the "Display Name" field from LDAP's "sn" field so that new users, upon logging in, will have new mail appear to come from their full name instead of their username.

Is that even possible? If so, what steps would I need to take? Running RoundCube-02. Thanks!

Hi it's possible and there is a patch available at the following ticket.

http://trac.roundcube.net/ticket/1485203

I'm using a possibly more recent version of the patch with v0.2.1. The changes are only in line numbers, so you can try patching as it is or you can paste the code to appropriate places yourself. If you cannot, I can send you the modified one.
