If you run a Drupal site at UC Berkeley, don't miss this session!
Most UC Berkeley Drupal sites should use the CAS module (http://drupal.org/project/cas) to provide CalNet authentication to their users. Once your users are logged in, you'd probably like Drupal to identify them by their first and last names as well as populate their email address from one of our LDAP email fields. Populating user profiles based on LDAP attributes hasn't been as easy as it should be, until now. Bradley's CAS Attributes (http://drupal.org/project/cas_attributes) module has made great strides in this area. Come hear Bradley's presentation on this new module.
Note: Michele Ziegmann will be running this meeting in my absence. Thanks Michelle!
(As always non-UC Berkeley Drupal enthusiasts are welcome and encouraged to attend.)

ALL CAPS last-names

Bring these questions!
If this is an issue, we could create a complimentary module to address it:
Implemtent hook_user (http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/developer--hooks--core.php/function/hoo...) and act on 'after_update'/'insert'
Then something like:
ucfirst(strtolower($lastname))There would be exceptions that this would not catch.
We might engage the UCB LDAP administrators in a discussion about this issue. Solution might be on their end.
Internationalization issue
This is partly an internationalization issue: surnames are in all caps so that you can distinguish them easily when you have a mix of people with surname-first, surname-last, middle-name, and double-surname names.
