    We had migrated our portal from Sharepoint 2010 to Sharepoint 2013. The user profile service is configured and user profile synchronization service is running correctly and all of the valid user profiles are fetched from AD and updated in SharePoint server. 

    However, when I go to site permission of our web application the display names are showing correctly but the login name are showing with claim based tokens ("i:0#w|<domainname>\<username>". Please see below snapshot taken from site permission page for few users:

    I need to know if we can somehow hide the special characters and display only <domainname>\<username>.

    Regards,

    Waliullah

    This might be due to the fact you went from 2010 to 2013 which is claims based.

    Can you confirm the accounts have a name or display name (forget which one) populated in AD and in the profile sync?

    If this is helpful please mark it so. Also if this solved your problem mark as answer.

    Yes, I migrated from 2010 to 2013. 

    These accounts have display name in the AD and these are properly showing in user profile. e.g. for Sharepoint1 account, 

    - Account Name: <domainname>\Sharepoint1

    - Display Name: Sharepoint1

    Hi,

    Please check if the user profile service application is connected to this problematical web application: Access CA > Application Management > Manage web applications > highlight web application > click Service Connections and check if the user profile service application is checked.

    Thanks,

    This has nothing to do with AD.  You need to clean up the DisplayName property for each one of these users stored in SharePoint.  Use PowerShell.  See this reference for details: SharePoint 2013: PowerShell automation of user and group reconfigurations.

    I have also run the clean up script for Display Name property as mentioned in the above link. However, the system is still showing display name as e.g.

    - Sharepoint1 (i:0#w|<domainname>\sharepoint1)

    - Waliullah Bukhari (i:0#w|<domainname>\wbukhari)

    Even, if I remove the user and add again it shows in the same way. I need to know if this is a default behavior for any migrated site from Sharepoint 2010 to Sharepoint 2013.

    Hi,

    It seems that the issue is caused that SharePoint assumes all users to be claim users and renders them so. Therefore, a normal windows user – “Domain\UserName” appears as “i:0#.w|Domain\UserName”.

    You need to converted SharePoint 2010 to claims format before migrating to SharePoint 2013.

    Try to run the following command:

    $WebApp = Get-SPWebApplication "WebAppURL"

    Convert-SPWebApplication -Identity $WebApp -To Claims –RetainPermissions -Verbose

    $WebApp.MigrateUsers($true)
