At Convergence Address Book the default lookup for 'Display Name' is the LDAP attribute 'cn', which leads into confusion if you start to setup 'displayName' LDAP attributes for your users.

LDAP User Entry with diaplyName attribute:

LDAP User Entry

This behavior can be controlled by the configuration file xlate-inetorgperson.xml. Change the default value of XPATH abperson\entry\displayname from 'cn' to 'displayName'.

<convergence_deploy_location>/config/templates/ab/corp-dir/xlate-inetorgperson.xml

Note:

In case the user has no 'displayName' attribute in LDAP you might noticed '...' at the user entry, if found via 'mail' attribute.
