I setup a Discourse install using SSO auth with an existing website (replacing an in-CMS private forum). The payload contains an `external_id`, `email`, `name`, and `moderator == false` but not `username` (this is generated on first login by Discourse). Discourse is setup to display the full name of the user everywhere (`enable names`, `display name on posts`, `full name required`).
However, there seems to be a discrepancy on where the name of the user is displayed or stored. On the public profile, the username is displayed. In the user preferences, the `name` field is empty. In the admin panel (/admin/users/list/active) the `name` is listed correctly, however in the “Single Sign-On” section the `name` field is empty (while `external_id` and `email` is filled correctly in this section).
At least the first issue (name missing in user preferences, as read-only?) should be fixed as it confuses users. The discrepancy with the user admin listing is odd. And I assume the “Single Sign-On” name should be filled, too.
I did not find any other discrepancies. I’ll report back if I find anything else.

Ok so it turns out I was dumb and did actually provide an empty `name` in the payload, the name was taken from the e-mail address instead. This is fixed now, so the Admin-Users view is now working as expected.
_However_, the name does still not appear in the the user’s profile settings page when using SSO. So there’s a minor bug here. Maybe this is related to the `sso_overrides_name` setting (which is true on my install)?

I’m running into the same issue. User profiles only partially display the full name.
It is correctly showing in the top little banner area of the profile next to the username & avatar.
It is however absent from the list of fields. It should either hide the label for the field, or display the full name.
