Try UserProfile.getUid().

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

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

work is complete, I closed the issue.
Do you have specific suggestions on how to "track"?

Let me be equally clear: yes, that's right.

been included in version 2.8 to uniquely distinguish a user,

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.
