Hi,
Using LDAP-sync with ENABLE_EXTRA_USER_INFO_SYNC=true. Users are synced fine, and can login. However, I notice that the “Name” of the user within the web GUI is not their full name (as specified in the LDAP database). At first I thought that there was something wrong with the LDAP-sync itself, but after further investigation that does not seem to be the case.
Modifying pro/python/seafevents/ldap_syncer/ldap_user_sync.py, and adding debug print in update_profile(), it is clear that db_user.name == ldap_user.name;
seafile@storage1:~/seafile-server-latest/pro$ ./pro.py ldapsync
db: Ruben Foo1, ldap: Ruben Foo1
db: Joachim Tingvold, ldap: Joachim Tingvold
db: Martin Foo2, ldap: Martin Foo2
db: Mikael Foo3, ldap: Mikael Foo3
db: Aleksander Foo4, ldap: Aleksander Foo4
[02/03/2021 16:24:29] [INFO] LDAP user sync result: add [0]user, update [0]user, deactive [0]user, add [0]role, update [0]role
[02/03/2021 16:24:29] [INFO] LDAP profile sync result: add [0]profile, update [0]profile, delete [0]profile
[02/03/2021 16:24:29] [INFO] LDAP dept sync result: add [0]dept, update [0]dept, delete [0]dept
This is also confirmed by looking at the database tables;
[seahub]> select * from profile_profile;

In other words; the sync seems fine, the data in DB seems fine. However, looking at the user list, their full name is not shown;
Prior to taking that screenshot, the “rbe@foo.com” user only had “rbe” as it’s name in the GUI. I took a full database dump (of all three databases), changed the name manually via the GUI (from “rbe” to “Ruben Foo1”), and then did a new, complete dump. There was no diff (of relevance) between the two dumps, however there is clearly a difference.
I’ve made sure to restart the seafile & seahub service, and also incognito mode in browser, to eliminate any potential caching issue.
What is going on here? Why is the GUI displaying essentially “wrong” information?
