Need help with script to split LDAP "cn" into "firstname" in attribute-resolver.xml?

[Eric Wedaa]

Yep, it's going to be a script.  I should have mentioned that I expected that.

And yes, my management team understands there will be issues.  I'm just the poor guy tasked with implementing it.  (Why we don't populate that in the LDAP directory I have no idea....)

Somebody might have done it, but there's certainly no such feature. It would be a script. This is really more of a directory/IDM job. When you consider international students and cultural issues with names, doing it with any kind of simple algorithm is probably doomed.
