I'M new to Django, looking to get first name and last name of the logged-in user in Django, login method am using LDAP authentication.

There is two method in AbstractUser class, you can use this

request.user.get_full_name()
request.user.get_short_name()

get_short_name will return first_name

You can use this method to get first name, last name and all details of the logged in user.

from django.contrib.auth.models import User
first_name = User.objects.get(username=request.user).first_name
last_name = User.objects.get(username=request.user).last_name

In the same way you can get any attribute of the user. For logged in users, you have to use the keyword request.user.
