Github connection doesn't pull name in IDToken
Just wanted to know if this was intention or if I messed up the configuation, but the name claim in the ID token is empty when I login with github. Is this intentional?

Hey @nemosupremo
The name claim in the ID token should typically contain the user's full name, as it is a standard claim that carries the first name and last name of the user. If the name claim is empty when you log in with GitHub, it could be due to a few reasons:
The GitHub account used for login might not have a name set. GitHub accounts can have an email without a full name, so if the user's GitHub profile does not include a name, Kinde might not be able to populate the name claim.
To resolve this, you should check the GitHub profile to ensure that a name is present. If the profile has a name and it's still not appearing in the ID token, you may need to review your Kinde configuration for GitHub social sign-in to ensure that it is set up to map the GitHub profile name to the name claim correctly.
Let me know how you go
I was using my own account; my github has a name set as it works in auth0
I don't see anyhting in the settings in Kinde to setup the mapping however
actually never mind, looks like I deleted my name from my github a while ago
Have you been able to re-test and see the name pull through for another user?
