We replace the UserID with a hashed version of the UserID when creating SAML users

Open swicken-dotcms opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

Describe the bug We replace the UserID with a hashed version of the UserID when we create SAML users. This can cause issues where the UserID is used as a reference against other data.

Ticket: https://dotcms.zendesk.com/agent/tickets/107795

To Reproduce

  1. Configure SAML as SSO
  2. Log in as a new user.
  3. UserID will be hashed.

Expected behavior While this is a good solution for dealing with invalid UserIDs, there are scenarios that a client will WANT their UserIDs to be in dotCMS, so this should be configurable.
