When renaming a user (from `jb1` to `jb`), I get this error message:  
`There was an error changing your username.`

No information is recorded in `/logs`.  
The old username was created because the user used SSO for the first time, and his name was too short. Now, I changed the minimum username length, and wanted to adjust his name.
