Problem
When Bamboo is using LDAP as the user repository, the User Profile button on the most top right of the page is missing.
The following appears in the atlassian-bamboo.log

When generating the button on the top header, Bamboo was unable to retrieve the full name of the logged in user. This can happen if the firstname LDAP attribute is not mapped properly.
Resolution
Check the LDAP mapping in Bamboo Home/xml-data/configuration/atlassian-user.xml. Ensure that firstnameAttribute is mapped to the correct LDAP attribute for the given name or first name of the user account.
