Can I use concatenated fields for "User Display Name Attribute"?

Question

I'm setting up Internal Directory with LDAP Authentication.

I want the User Display Name Attribute to show a combination of two LDAP fields, ie. "givenName sn".  This is because my LDAP Server doesn't publish displayName in the format I want.

Can I concatenate multiple fields for this property?

This works perfectly under JIRA Software 7.0.4 without Crowd. Thanks.

Hi My,

As far as I know, this is not possible:

I found a solution that works in Crowd, assuming the concatenation you are looking for matched the fields specified in  "first name" and "last name" fields.

If crowd is given an attribute it can not find, it will fall back on concatenating first and last name.
