Feature description

A new field added to the user, "Display Name", which can be used by apps which separate usernames and display_name, and that can be synchronised from LDAP.

Pitch

I'm using the ldap-integration in PocketID, and in my ldap (LLDAP) the field display_name is included by default on users. I'm also using an app, Reitti, which I'm using PocketID OAuth to sign in to. Reitti has a separate field for username and display_name.

So, it stands to reason that I should be able to get my display_name which I've input in lldap and give it to Reitti. However, because PocketID doesn't get the display_name from ldap, it doesn't get included when I sign in to Reitti.

The display name is just the first and last name combined, right? If so, Pocket ID returns a "name" claim which includes the full name.

No, it's a separate field. It's used to decide which name to show other users, as sometimes you don't want to use your username or first name. Here are the user fields in LLDAP:

Okay, thanks for the clarification. I'm marking this as "needs more upvotes" to check if other users want this too.
