SharePoint 2019 - Display Full Names for FBA Users

Configured Forms Based Authentication (FBA) using the Visigo solution (link) in SharePoint 2019, following the guidance from this blog (link). Users can be added as expected, but all people pickers and system components are showing the FBA users' login names. The client requests displaying the users' full names instead of the FBA login names. Unfortunately, I haven't found solutions focusing on this issue. Any assistance would be appreciated.

    Hi @Shady Mahasneh

    In SharePoint 2019, displaying full names for Forms Based Authentication (FBA) users typically involves configuring the User Profile Service to synchronize with your external authentication provider (like Active Directory or LDAP). You could refer to following steps to set up the display name.
