Stop Using Email as User Identifier |
EPerson |
Use of email address as a persistent identifier for the DSpace conflicts with the fact that email addresses are not persistent. Email addresses go away and/or are reassigned to other individuals. There are also policy concerns with Authenticators like Shibboleth and CAS that may or may not deliver an email address as a organizational policy. |
