Getting _2e in user names

Hi Guys,
when viewing a topic created/edited by an LDAP user Foswiki apparently displays the user name (not the WikiName) in the "You are here: Foswiki>Main Web>JohnSmith (22 Apr 2015, john_2esmith)" navigation bar and my guess is that because our user names have a dot in between the first and last name Foswiki takes it out and puts the _2e in there. Is there a way to change that to the WikiName? Here are my environments details:

* Authentication is done by LdapContrib against an ActiveDirectory 2012 R2
* Our login names are read from "mailNickname" which is always Firstname.Lastname sometimes Firstname.Lastname-Lastname
* $Foswiki::cfg{Ldap}{WikiNameAttributes} = 'cn'; - the AD attribute "cn" is always: Firstname Lastname and sometimes: Firstname.Lastname-Lastname - tried it with "givenName,sn": no change
* $Foswiki::cfg{Ldap}{NormalizeWikiNames} = 1;
* $Foswiki::cfg{UserMappingManager} = 'Foswiki::Users::LdapUserMapping'; is set correctly
* $Foswiki::cfg{PasswordManager} = 'Foswiki::Users::LdapPasswdUser'; is set correctly
* Tried changing $Foswiki::cfg{Register}{AllowLoginName} - no change
* Tried changing $Foswiki::cfg{Ldap}{NormalizeLoginNames} - no change
* $Foswiki::cfg{Ldap}{CaseSensitiveLogin} = 0;

Apprechiate your time!

I have the same problem. Strangely if you create a new page it correctly puts the persons WikiName in to the page as the creator.

I've been trialing LDAPContrib too, and encountered the same problem. For what it's worth (3 years since the original post), I found that if you edit WikiUsers and change from:

• RiskReward - risk.reward - 01 May 2017

to:

• RiskReward - risk_2ereward - 01 May 2017

...It will show the correct WikiName in the breadcrumb again.
