Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Peter DiCamillo <>]

We're running the current version of Grouper, and working on supporting 
Grouper's external subjects in our various applications. We've run into 
a problem with the names for external subjects. During the invitation 
process, the person enters their name in a single field. However LDAP 
(RFC 4519), and other applications such as Canvas require a first name 
and last name for people. While we can easily construct a full name from 
the first and last name, it's not possible do the reverse reliably. So 
we'd like to have Grouper prompt for and save first and last names for 
external subjects. While it's not as essential, we've also realized that 
it would be very useful if external subjects had an attribute 
identifying the person who invited them. Does Grouper provide 
customization mechanisms for these changes, or if not, could they be 
included in Grouper at some point?
