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.

> 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.
