As from version 2.2 of the schema, in Haka, the givenName attribute type is interpretated as defined in RFC 2256 with special complements below.

See commonName for conventions for attributes carrying the name of an individual. If the object corresponds to a person, following rules should be considered. Since displayName seems to be widely used as full name of a person in addition to cn, Haka interpretation of the givenName attribute is the preferred given name the person has indicated to be used (in Finland: "kutsumanimi"). In Finland, only one name can be registered as preferred. For this reason and to avoid confusion, only one value SHOULD be made available when describing a person. Traditionally both givenName (displayname in FEP 2.1 and before) and sn have been made available for each user in Haka as mandatory attributes. After the change in semantics in version 2.2 of the schema, givenName needs to be specified as mandatory for the same set of personal data to be available as before in FEP 2.1. |
