I see that in the JTS Manage Sever page, there's a handful of jobs that populate this data, so I'm wondering if anyone has come upon the need to rename their users for clarity, and which one of those tasks can be updated to change user's display names. Here's an example of why we would want to change this. Michael Scott userID:  mscott, displayName: mscott  This isn't so bad. However, if we take another example, the displayName is truncated to eight characters (an inheritance of our LDAP). Toby Flenderson userID: tflenders, displayName: tflenders This just doesn't work for a bunch of reasons. Thanks, David Comments David Reilly commented Nov 14 '18, 12:27 p.m. With some further research, it appears that this post provides some useful notes on what to modify if you're looking down this path.  https://jazz.net/forum/questions/81475/integrate-ldap-with-jazz-team-server I understand that a lot of this has to do with how our LDAP is set up, but if anyone has some interesting tips or guidance on this, it would be very useful. I'm a little hesitant making changes on the admin side of things if it winds up getting us "out of sync" so if anyone has a comment or tidbit to add, I'd greatly appreciate the guidance.
