Description Mitar 2014-08-08 16:20:27 UTC 
Currently only information about the user in identify response is username. This is problematic because usernames can be changed (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Username_policy#Changing_your_username). So it is impossible to track users as they are changing usernames. Can you expose some unique non-changing ID? Probably SQL table has an ID for user row?
Comment 1 Chris Steipp 2014-08-08 16:23:15 UTC 
sub ("subject" in the oidc spec) is the user_id (in single wiki mode) or centralauth gu_id (in multi-wiki mode). I think that's what you want?

Oh, I missed that. Thanks! Sorry for noise.
