I have a Jenkins instance connected to a directory service for authentication. I configured the display name and email attributes. I have a build checking out a Subversion repository over HTTP (via Apache), which authenticates with the same LDAP.

I expected Jenkins to pull the user from the commit metadata (the svn:author property), map the display name to show in the Changes screen, and map the email address for sending build notifications.

Jenkins never pulls the email address. It has this in my user configuration and in the log for the email notifier:

anthony.mastrean@548b7ffa-d19c-4046-8715-d3a94a596a03

I don't know if this is related, but I noticed that it didn't even pull my display name until I logged in once. It displayed my user in the Changes screen as

anthony.mastrean

Until I logged in and it updated to

Anthony Mastrean
