I am trying to find out where sharepoint gets the usernames from. In wss 3 on the "Personal settings" page there is a field name. In some cases it is populated with the login (like domain\username), on some installations I find it to be the actual name of the user. I guess that sharepoint at some point gets the real name from active directory - so that its not displayed "welcome domain\username", it should display "welcome firstname lastname" or something like that.
Initially SharePoint uses the information from Active Directory to populate the fields in WSS. Next to that, there is a timerjob that runs to sync the information in AD and SharePoint, though I'm not sure whether this is MOSS feature only or that it's also available in WSS

So the title says it all. We want an app that doens't depend on an email at all, only on the phone number of the user. Is this possible ?
Edit:
I need this to authenticate against Azure Functions, if it matters. Maybe Easy-Auth has this ?
Also, I don't care if the solution is hacky. I know I can make mail verification optional, and I don't mind customizing the sign up form so that I remove the email field and submit a fake address instead of the user.
Azure AD B2C does not support this currently. If you're interested in this feature, you can upvote here and receive updates on when this becomes available:

If a user create a new site and just saves is without checking the site in, where's the location?
I want to test what's happens if a farm administrator tries to publish a site that's not a "draft" or a published site. (got a custom "publish now"-button without having to go trough a workflow)
Since Sharepoint dot not support draft versions of sites, I think you mean List Items or documents that not have been checked in by your users.
To see those items you can use the Site Content and Structure facilities. Check this post:

I have imported a CRM 2011 database from an outside domain and mapped one admin user to my local account on my local domain and left all other users unmapped.
Can I remap any of the other users or am I stuck reimporting the database and mapping properly? I want to map one of the other users to a different account on my new domain because I want to login as this user (not the user I originally mapped).
I don't believe you can perform the mapping process again (as its presented in the organisation import tool) but you can just change the domain/login name on the system user record. This should achieve the same result, if you need to update 100's of records you might be able to update the records with a data import, or failing that write a little application to do it.

I am working on a sharepoint 2010 project
The problem I am current have is the search function doesn't really work. Whatever I searched, the result was "We did not find any results for [the keywork I searched]". I have uploaded the documents and crawled the content source and the service is running on central admin. Any help will be appreciated.
Regards,
Bin
My guess is that the crawl didn't actually manage to crawl any content. You may want to go into the crawl log and check for any errors that occurred.
The most common error is that the Default Content Access account doesn't have rights to connect to the content source.
Check the default content access account in Search Administration and make sure it has enough rights on the content source.

i have a custom query in a database which i want to display to users in a MOSS via performancepoint webpart.
I need to filter the report based on the username of the logged in user.
How can i pass the AD username to the performancepoint webpart?
Thanks
You'll need to change the BPM.ServerConnectionPerUser property in your web.config files (PPS sites, as well as any SharePoint site using a PPS webpart) to True. Do an IISReset after you do that, and you should be hunky dory.
The reason is that default behavior for PPS is to use the application pool identity to hit all of your data sources, which is a nightmare if your source is a cube (what happened to member level security?!?). Luckily, changing the ServerConnectionPerUser property to True enables this. Nick Barclay went into this quite well on his blog post on the subject.
Cheers,
Eric
