Re: authentication - two usernames for one user

Hi Ed,

The idea is that the uid will be unique, the reason that I need another
uid for the same user is that we are planning to replace
character based uids with number based uids (or perhaps use both
kinds for some time).
Replicating all the user entry mantaining the same mailMessageStore
is an alternative, but then there is the password change problem
and maybe other issues.

Regards
Andre
