      We are using ClearCase as SCM and can see user names in changelog. Some user names as resolved to real names (wee can see real name and user name in chagelog), but some not. I think name resolution is done during login with active directory plugin. It would be good if can see real names / e-mail addresses from users that never login at build server.

          I thought we've fixed this in 1.21 as a part of JENKINS-6648. The resolution is now attempted during e-mail address resolution as well.

          Oh, I got it. You want it even before that. I guess we want to allow User.get to be intercepted by a plugin and that would enable us to retrieve information from AD. We need to be smart not to make too many AD hits, but otherwise this seems doable.

          We actually need this as well. Many of our usernames are simply numbers and many users do not ever login, so this functionality would be extremely useful in determining who actually broke the build, etc. (and save lots of time using other methods to figure it out). We also do not currently have some jobs setup to email users on failure (will in the future) so those names are never getting resolved that way either. Thanks!
