Description
We have changed a user's last name but for anyone that previously had chat message conversation with the person before the name change they do not see the display name change on the user listing.
If you create a new chat conversation with the same person that has the name changed, the name change is correct.

Research direction
Start by tracing how LDAP user display names are represented in existing message conversations and how they are refreshed for new conversations. Reproduce the surname change with both an existing and a new conversation, then verify that the user listing shows the updated display name in both cases.
