[Xerte] Re: Names go missing from user profiles (Xerte 1.8)

[Pat L (pgogy)]

Hi Linda,

The names are usually populated via logging in. From recollection Birkbeck
aren't using LDAP but some kerberos code they wrote themselves?

If this data isn't returned via the query, then when log in occurs I think
it may wipe out the details entered. Could possibly be a simple fix code
wise but could also be something up with the authentication code.

Hope this helps

Pat
