[keycloak-user] Users with no firstName and lastName?

[Michael Liebe]

Hi,

Another option would be to create a custom theme as described here: http://www.keycloak.org/docs/latest/server_development/topics/themes.html  
You can add a javascript file that makes the input fields in question readonly or generate your own HTML by overriding the freemarker templates.
Does this help you?

Regards,
Michael

    Hi,
    
    it seems that this question of mine was forgotten. Is there anything I can do to improve my question, to increase the likelihood of getting a response?
    
    Thanks!
    Matthias.
