Fields changed

priority: major => minor

I'm not sure this is an sssd issue. What is the output of getent passwd $username for that user? What display manager is that?

We are using gnome.[[BR]]

This is the output of the getent command.[[BR]]
westmr1:*:12083:57282:West, Mikal R:/home/westmr1:/bin/csh

Then I would suggest asking the GDM developers (or accountsservice which IIRC feeds the info into GDM). SSSD is only more or less responsible for delivering the data. In your case the GECOS attribute is already displayed as "West, Michal R" so I would expect GDM to display that as well.

I'm fine with leaving this ticket open against SSSD, but so far I think SSSD is behaving correctly, can you ask GDM people what do they think?

The comma is used as a separator in the GECOS field by some older applications like finger, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gecos_field for details.

Where would I go to submit a ticket for GDM? What looks to be needed is the support of wrapping the content in the gecos field with quotes, similar to CSV files. So that the comma doesn't get confused with an actual field separator.

I would say https://bugzilla.gnome.org/ or the bug tracker for your distribution.

Since this is not an issue in sssd, I'm closing this ticket.
