    Description

      We currently use Active Directory for user logins to Jenkins. However, our repositories are not connected to AD, and so users have a different username for them.
      For example a user A might have username userA in AD, while have Auser in subversion, and user1 in CVS.

      Would it be possible to allow the admin to set additional usernames for a single person? This would help eliminate multiple entries for the same person in the "People" list, and also let Jenkins realise that Auser and user1 (and userA) are the same person?

            I'm working on a fix for this as https://github.com/ndeloof/jenkins/tree/userID

            idea is to extend logic for User.get(String idOrFullName, boolean create); so that - as first parameter suggest - it handle the case idOrFullName is not the jenkins user ID but another identifier. A new extension point is create to retrieve canonical (ie jenkins user database) ID from idOrFullName. So plugins could contribute ID reconciliation, either with automatic rule (append domain name to SCM id, ...), external service lookup, or based on custom UserProperties
