#607 For transfer of account credentials to new FAS2 account
Closed: Fixed None Opened 15 years ago by kevin79.

Dear Fedora Account System team,

I have an old FAS account named kevin79. My desireable login name is kevinverma but could not opt the same during initial FAS rollout, far as I recall I could create login name 'kevinverma' under FAS2.

I will like to have my old credentials migrated to new account 'kevinverma' please suggest best method or if this has to be helped by FAS admins.

Regards,
Kevin Verma


Unfortunately the only secure way to do this is to create a new account and go from there. We use both UUID and username as identifiers for a user. As such if either changes, it takes a great deal of work to go through all of our systems to ensure that all instances of kevin79 get changed to the new system and we really only do that during a time of compromise or other such highly sensitive issue. Sorry I don't have better news.
