Hi Andrew, yes, that sounds like a permissions "problem" on the side of your LDAP server. I'd say that once your user successfully authenticates, he's not allowed to read his own attributes (name, surname, ...) and thus DSpace stores null. Do try to log in using some LDAP client (e.g. ldapsearch or a GUI client like Apache Directory Studio) using the same user's credentials and see if you can read the values of his attributes. > I'm not doing heirarchical authentication, should I be? If you can verify that the problem is what I say it is, you can fix it on the LDAP server side by giving all users permission to read their attributes (at least those that DSpace needs). While you could have one special LDAP account that has read permissions to all the other accounts and use it to retrieve the attribute values, this is not how the code in DSpace currently works. Even if you enable hierarchical auth (which you otherwise don't need - because the authentication itself works for you), DSpace will still use the actual user's account to retrieve its attributes, not the search.user account.
