You can see this here, http://community-support.engineyard.com/discussions/problems/3-my-display-name-is-not-correct-in-community-support. Both Jeremy and I posted when authenticated via the tender cookies, our email address doesn't show up.

There's also no way to log out, clicking on 'Not You' doesn't do it.

   Hey Corey,

   Use this alternate version of the plugin. You basically just add tender_name to the end of the signed string.

   http://github.com/courtenay/tender_multipass/tree/master

   Set the tender_name cookie (make sure it's in the hmac) and you can set whatever profile name you want.

   user.tender_multipass(cookies, 1.week.from_now.to_i, :full_name)

   instead of

   user.tender_multipass(cookies, 1.week.from_now.to_i)

   Hey Courtenay,

   I added the tender_name cookie and I'm still not getting a username displayed when posting to forms. I've done the clear my cookies and start over dance a few times in different browsers and I'm not seeing any change.

   You have to actually sign the tender_name. Try doing it with the redirect link instead of the cookie.

   Yo,

   I've gotten a few other people to try this and it looks like perhaps you guys cache this info locally the first time a user hit the site? If that's the case then I think we're good, it just keeps putting everything before the @ symbol in my email address as my full name.

   Is there any way to logout when using this remote authentication?

   I can confirm that the user's name is not being picked up for display. Instead, the user's email is used instead in the top header ("Logged in as [email blocked]") and the name set to foo (anonymous).

   I am using Courtenay's tender_multipass fork.

   OK guys, I've fixed this .. please confirm that it's all working.

   Also, there probably should be a "logout" link that's user customizable that takes you to your original app...? What do you think?

   The name is correctly displayed in the issue. The top-right "Logged in as ..." still shows the email instead of the name. Is this by design?

   I also tested adding the additional params - tender_external_id, tender_external_url but am not seeing this exposed in Tender's UI.

   +1 for having the logout option.

    I've opened a few dev tickets for these issues (logged-in as, tender_external, and logout). We'll verify and fix as necessary.
