edit "Login Name" of Guest Access

if we edit the "Login Name" of an older Guest Access token under

/tokens

the new name is added but the old "Login Name" will also still exist in the ACL system - so this gives us than two Guest Access with the same "Login Password"

I guess this is not intended

I do not think editing login name is supported.

@𝓒𝓱𝓻𝓲𝓼 I just tested this (klacker.org Hubzilla 10.2.3 - 1263). I tried logging in with an existing guest account. It worked. Then I logged out and changed the login name. Logging in with the new login name and the old password also worked. @Mario Vavti However, after logging out again and attempting to log in with the old login name and password, it did not work, as expected.

So it seems to work exactly as expected on the hub.

but if we call up a created Guest Access we can edit every entry for

Login Name - LoginPassword - Expires (yyyy-mm-dd) , Select a role for this guest

i'm testing it with a wiki... after changing the loginname - made edits in a wiki do still refer to the old loginname

Ah, OK. So that doesn't mean that the old login name still works for authentication, but rather that the old login name (at least in the wiki, possibly elsewhere) is referenced when content is created or edited.

The question is whether it is important that the login name is updated retroactively in the database, i.e. whether the new name should be used for changes made after the name change.

if editing the login name is not supported than we should not be allowed to edit it
