This is a follow-on from JRA-1549.
We want to detect when a user in an LDAP server has had her username changed, and treat this as a "rename" instead of as a delete and insert.

m.schaepers Yes you can get JIRA to automatically synchronise user renames with the "Internal with LDAP Authentication User Directory" User Directory type (aka "Delegated LDAO Authentification".
To make synchronisation happen, you need to select the "Copy User on Login" option in the User Directory config.
Now, every time a users logs in JIRA will pull down the latest User data from the LDAP server (including a rename).
Just turning that flag on should just work for most LDAP vendors assuming the sysadmin has not messed with the default schema.
If the rename detection is not working (but other properties (eg email) are synching) then look at the "User Unique ID Attribute" setting under "User Schema Settings" and consult your LDAP admin about if the default value there is reasonable.
