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,

of changes in name, but no specific method has yet been included to

it. Is that correct?

----------------------------------
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.
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
Assignee: Andrew Jaquith
Fix For: 2.8
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.
