Mike,

Here is what I did for that exact change:

1. In sources.xml, create a virtual attribute:

    <init-param>
      <param-name>subjectVirtualAttribute_0_osuFriendlyDisplay</param-name>
      <param-value>${subject.getAttributeValue('cn')} 
(${subject.getAttributeValue('uid')})</param-value>
    </init-param>


2. In the UI's conf/grouper-ui.properties:

# this configures the default display in the Admin UI
# Use our virtual attribute instead of "description"
subject.display.default=osuFriendlyDisplay

# this configures how subjects look in the UI v2.2.  This is the short 
version of the subject
grouperUi.screenLabel2.sourceId.0 = jdbc
grouperUi.screenLabel2.screenEl.0 = ${subject.name}

grouperUi.screenLabel2.sourceId.1 = g:gsa
grouperUi.screenLabel2.screenEl.1 = 
${subject.getAttributeValue('displayExtension')}

grouperUi.screenLabel2.sourceId.2 = g:rsa
grouperUi.screenLabel2.screenEl.2 = 
${subject.getAttributeValue('displayExtension')}

grouperUi.screenLabel2.sourceId.3 = grouperEntities
grouperUi.screenLabel2.screenEl.3 = 
${subject.getAttributeValue('displayExtension')}

grouperUi.screenLabel2.sourceId.4 = ldap
grouperUi.screenLabel2.screenEl.4 = 
${subject.getAttributeValue('osuFriendlyDisplay')}

# this configures how subjects look in the lite UI.  This is the short 
version of the display
# images (must be in assets/images dir) for subject source id
grouperUi.subjectImg.sourceId.0 = ldap
grouperUi.subjectImg.image.0 = user.png
# screen EL has "subject" as an object
grouperUi.subjectImg.screenEl.0 = 
${subject.getAttributeValue('osuFriendlyDisplay')}


That configures the Admin UI, new UI, and lite UI to use 
osuFriendlyDisplay.



Hope that helps,
