ldap user with empty username

[Vadim Dvorkin]

Hello,

I have ldap user, which has empty field in Settings->Profile->Username. The other fields, like "Full Name" and "Email Adress", are correct.

I looked in ACCOUNT_EXTERNAL_IDS table of DataBase. There is single row for him, where his gerrit user is defined.  The second record, like for another users, where is "username:..." defined, is absent. As result, he cannot ssh communicate with repository under gerrit.

I created the wanted record by "gerrit gsql" but it does not help: Settings->Profile->Username is still empty and ssh impossible.

Would you please to suggest me how to resolve this problem?

Thanks in advance.

 When you update the DB directly you bypass the application and the cache becomes outdated. You need to flush accounts related caches to force a cache update.
 
Check this example that shows DB update followed by flush-caches operation [1].

Also check show-cashes [2] and flush-caches [3] documentation for more information.
