Even though the LDAP attribute is "givenName" I have to use "givenname" in the configuration to make it work.

What you are describing, is exactly when the firstname is not mapped correctly.
I would:
1. Verify that the field can be populated. To do the I would hard code a generic firstname in the field. ie: <firstname is="" >John</firstname> This should always populate the firstname field (in borrowers) with "John".
2. Use a tool like the Softera LDAP browser to make sure you can browse the LDAP directory, and that the user you browse with has "read" rights to that attribute.
3. Double check that you are using the correct attribute mapping. The softera LDAP browser will show the LDAP mapping, depending on your directory this could be different. In my case (Novell eDir) I must use the "givenname" attribute.
