[Freeipa-users] Creating new users with one name

[Steven Jones]

Hi,

One thing and its sort of strange but when you so to create a new user you have assumed that the user has both a forename and a surname so this is compulsory.

This isn't always the case, we have users who have one name and its not their forename or their surname and that's legal, at least here in NZ.

Should I raise this as a "bug"?  

I'm not sure what happens when we win-sync from AD in such cases as that is a single occupied field that gets replicated, and a blank for one will this be OK?
