Option to allow access to usernames
-----------------------------------

                 Key: ROL-1797
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/roller/browse/ROL-1797
             Project: Roller
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Page Rendering & Management
    Affects Versions: 4.0
            Reporter: David Johnson
            Assignee: David Johnson
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 5.0


Roller's UserWrapper object ensures that real usernames cannot be displayed in blog pages and instead returns the user's screennames.

This request for enhancements asks for this behavior to be made configurable via roller.properties like so:

   # Normally, for security purposes Roller keeps usernames private and the user
   # getUserName() method in templates actually returns the user's sceenname.
   # If you want templates to have access to real usernames, set this to false.
   user.privateUserNames=true

The UserWrapper class will check this property to decide whether or not to return the real username.

The default will be to keep usernames private and hidden.
