For an extranet site, the FBA users who have registered may use names that are not in the same format as the display name for those users who have access to the same site who are using Windows Authentication.  Therefore, in SharePoint lists, the FBA users show up with their registered username, as opposed to something like "Last, First." in the created by column of the list.

 Is there any way to get the display name (created by) information to show consistently as "Last, First" (which are in the user profile) while still allowing for the user to login with whatever credentials they set up for themselves?

Thanks again,

Alyssa

Alyssa,

ExCM should update the Display Name field of the SharePoint user account during a registration. This only occurs if you have the profile attributes 'FirstName' and 'LastName'. The display name format is '{FirstName} {LastName}' which may be different than what AD uses. If you would like to perform a different action after registration you can always update the OnRegistering event of the Register.aspx page.

This will take a bit of .NET programming but you can perform any action you like in this event including updating SharePoint User information.
