feature request: Set firstname, lastname e-mail to user in DbBackend

[stevie-sy]

situation now

Now you can only set a username and a password at the user amdinistration menue. No other informations are possible. So the username should be meaningful for everybody, although this may differ from internal standard.

our (future) plan

We want to standardize the username - which is now the mail-address - in the DbBackend so they are the same as in other application and/or in ActiveDirectory, which is a combination of letters/numbers. Of course it is difficult to remember who is behind the (new) username.

Solution

It would be great, if there would be a possabilty to set (optional) the first and the lastname as well an e-mail address - similar a lot of other application offers - in the user administration menue.

I saw, that the class

icingaweb2/library/Icinga/User.php

Line 20 in c4b6e4b

class User

offers all this stuff. But it looks like this was never implemented for users in the DbBackend, because there are also no columns in the icingaweb2-db for this stuff. I also saw, if somewhere in the icingaweb2 code would call new User(..), only the username is set wihtin the constructor. And if my IDE works correctly e.g. the function

icingaweb2/library/Icinga/User.php

Line 377 in c4b6e4b

public function getLastname()

is nowhere triggerd - so it looks like dead code for now.

If this would be ever implemented it would be great that this infos would of course be shown at acknowledgements and comments output. Depending what type of icingaweb-username other companies are using, this should maybe configurable what info should be shown there (username, first/lastname etc. pp.)
