[jira] Created: (JSPWIKI-267) No consistent means for maintaining a
user's unique identity
No consistent means for maintaining a user's unique identity
------------------------------------------------------------
Key: JSPWIKI-267
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPWIKI-267
Project: JSPWiki
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Authentication&Authorization
Affects Versions: 2.6.2
Environment: All
Reporter: Terry Steichen
Now that we've modified JSPWiki to allow users to change not only their Name but also their login name, I don't see any way for JSPWiki administrator to keep track of users over time. For many reasons of administration, billing, user behavior management, I think there should be some way to unambiguously identify a particular user, no matter how often they may change their profile.

I'm pretty sure we don't want to permit people to modify their user
name once they've created it. I haven't looked into how this works
yet, but is there a flag that can be set to disable this "feature"?
If not, I think it would be a good addition -- my guess is that not
too many admins want to permit this since tracking users (especially
problematic ones) becomes immeasureably more difficult.
I'm also with Terry on this -- it's too much of a problem if people
can alter user names. I can easily imagine a bot going to town with
this one... (i.e., it sounds like a really big security hole)

OK, if that's an existing method, then I have no problem. The original
comment on this thread led me to understand that such a method didn't
exist. End of issue.

Re: [jira] Closed: (JSPWIKI-267) No consistent
means for maintaining a user's unique identity
Posted by Terry Steichen <te...@net-frame.com>.
What I am doing is logging activity on my JSPWiki-based system. It is
extremely important that I am able to keep track the activities of a
given user. Prior to adding the capability to change login name, that
was pretty straightforward. Now it isn't (so, what I had to do in the
meanwhile was modify JSPWiki so my users cannot change their login
name).
If the new uid is part of the user profile, it must be accessible (via
some api) to allow reliable tracking the activity of any user. My point
is simply that iff the uid is present but not accessible (via an api -
as I understand it is not), then it doesn't provide a complete
solution.
On the other hand, if the new uid is indeed programmatically retrievable
(without having to write a custom method), then the problem is
(presumably) solved.

Terry -- the uid is part of the user profile, and it is stored in the
database. That is the "means" for tracking a unique user. Because that
work is complete, I closed the issue.
Do you have specific suggestions on how to "track"?

Let me be clear - what you're saying is that a unique identifier has
been included in version 2.8 to uniquely distinguish a user, regardless
of changes in name, but no specific method has yet been included to use
it. Is that correct?

Andrew Jaquith closed JSPWIKI-267.
----------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Fix Version/s: 2.8
I added the UID property to user profiles for this purpose in 2.7.0-svn-29. However, we are not using it strictly speaking for tracking just yet. There are probably places in the code where we ought to print UserProfile.getUid() to the log file, but that's a future thing that we'll do as it makes sense.
In the meantime, this bug is (strictly speaking) fixed.

OK. Feel free to close at your discretion ;-)

Re: [jira] Commented: (JSPWIKI-267) No consistent means for
maintaining a user's unique identity

That's exactly right. I did add the UID property to user profiles for
this purpose. However, we are not using it strictly speaking for
tracking just yet. There are probably places in the code where we
ought to print UserProfile.getUid() to the log file, but that's a
future thing that we'll do as it makes sense.
In the meantime we can close this issue, I think.

Andrew, didn't you add the UID in 2.7 trunk just for this purpose? Can this be closed?
