If you want to customize the user profile so that it matches the logged-in user, you'll have to develop a simple function called hook_get_autouserprofile - with this function you can retrieve from a central user account database (for instance, from a LDAP directory) the true full name, names, and email of a particular user. You can even customize his privileges on the system based on the groups he is allocated in the external database.
