Problem when rename user

[Francisco Javier Torres]

I have problem with user rename operation. I call method getUserByKey from UserManager class with modified username and the method return null object, but if I call with old username I get the user.

The problem are in DefaultUserManager class, this class search user in UserKeyStore and the new username doesn't found in this store.

ComponentAccessor.getUserManager().getUserByKey(userName)

Any suggestions?

Hi Francisco!

User key is not username, however it can match is some cases. Please see here:

In you case your can use getUserByName

ComponentAccessor.getUserManager().getUserByName(userName)
