Description

Is it possible to change my user name for the wiki and trac to bmoskovi? If so, will this change lose the history of my tickets and wiki changes I've made?

Thanks!

I don't know about the wiki, but for the LDAP based services (like trac) changing the username would require changing it not only on the LDAP side but also on each of the services using it, who usually keep a local record of the user. Why do you want to change it ?

Replying to strk:

I don't know about the wiki

There is an extension for this:

As we want to move MediaWiki to a LDAP backend (#165) I don't think it's worth installing more plugins based on local authentication

Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
