Due to a limitation in the GAE Federated Login API, the User.nickname() field only contains the OpenID authtoken after successful login, but no real name (currently, OpenID AX support is missing).

Possible workarounds:

  • display a pickled version (using truncate in the template)
  • roll simple user management (with user page and editable name/ fields to keep) and use data from there
