Change the name of jenkins user

[Peter Bruin]

I am using Gerrit with HTTP_LDAP and created a jenkins user but didn't specify the full-name and email at the time. Now the jenkins user is named the Anonymous Coward. When I try to use set-account --full-name I get the message that "The realm doesn't allow editting of names".

Then I tried to add jenkins as a user in LDAP but when I try to log in I see an exception being thrown that the user already exists.

Any idea how to resolve this? Or do I need to hack the database?

Have you created the jenkins user in your LDAP system or as a Gerrit role account (using gerrit create-account)?

The email address is not important for pure Gerrit users but the full-name is.

The fastest way is probably to do it in the database:

update accounts set full_name = '...' where account_id = ...

I guess I created it as Gerrit role, I didn't know there was a difference in account types. And that's probably why gerrit tried to create a new after I added the user to LDAP.

This is what I used to create it.

cat id_pub.rsa | ssh - p 29418 gerrit.example.com gerrit create-account jenkins --ssh-key -

Anyway, I followed you advice and changed the database entry.

Thanks
