Split displayName to givenName and cn

[db@alaska.edu]

Clearly you cannot derive given name from displayName unless you make some false assumptions about users' names, such as given names (or alternatively surnames) contain no spaces. How else would you parse Joan Paul Jones?

You might assume displayName is one valid value of cn (common name) but that may not be true in all cases either.

If this is not possible, can this be done at the idp end. If so what are the settings and which file needs to be updated.
