Sync User Record with Username Case Changes

FrankG · September 11, 2015, 7:12am

Hello,

I’m having trouble getting SSO records to sync properly when the user changes only the case of their username. If the target user is named Sam, and a sync record comes in changing the username to SaM (using Sam’s external ID and email), Discourse seems to be renaming the account to SaM1. Any ideas?

Also, in the SSO section of the user in the admin panel, it shows the correct, new username.

Thanks guys

Bumping this because it’s still an issue.

I’m closing this, this was fixed several years ago:

Here we have a test case for this:

github.com

discourse/discourse/blob/aa00960638bf6a67836ac838ffac17a539c942b9/spec/models/discourse_single_sign_on_spec.rb#L267

    
      
            add_group1.reload
            expect(add_group1.usernames).to eq(user.username)
          
          
  add_group2.reload
            expect(add_group2.usernames).to eq(user.username)
          
          
  add_group4.reload
            expect(add_group4.usernames).to eq(user.username)
          end
          
          
it 'can override username properly when only the case changes' do
            SiteSetting.auth_overrides_username = true
          
          
  sso = new_discourse_sso
            sso.username = "testuser"
            sso.name = "test user"
            sso.email = "test@test.com"
            sso.external_id = "100"
            sso.bio = "This **is** the bio"
            sso.suppress_welcome_message = true
