CMIS: Get human-readable name of a user

Question

Some CMIS methods return a username, for instance:

Request: Document -> cmis:lastModifiedBy Result: nraoul42

Is there any way to get the "pretty name" of the user, using only CMIS?
For instance Nicolas Raoul instead of nraoul42.

I think 100% of the ECM products store username with both a machine-oriented and a human-oriented form, so that is a feature that CMIS might have implemented.

Answer 1

Not all ECM products can provide human-readable names. In some scenarios the ECM system only deals with user ids while the rest of the user data is managed in a LDAP system or something similar.

Some ECM systems provide human-readable user names as CMIS extensions, though. But there is no standardized way to retrieve human-readable user names.
