Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points; begin by locating the view fields that render “Created by” and “Last edited by” in the JavaScript app and reproduce the LDAP case. Trace how the user identity is supplied, then verify that the display name appears in both fields without unacceptable performance impact.
