ROR Upgrade – Duplicate Usernames Issue

Enterprise Support

**ROR Version1.63:

**Kibana Version8.14.3:

**Elasticsearch Version8.14.3:

Hello @coutoPL,

We would like to update our Elastic images to the latest ROR version (from 1.61 to 1.63). However, due to the introduction of this :face_with_monocle: Enhancement: Introduced validation to prevent multiple username entries in the users section, we’re currently facing a blocking issue.

Specifically, we need to duplicate usernames to handle both lowercase and uppercase variants (because of different authentication methods), and also to use the same usernames across different tenants.

Is there any alternative solution available? At the moment, this limitation is preventing us from upgrading to the latest ROR version, or even to 1.62.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards,

Hi @rafikkcmed

There is the username case sensitivity setting setting in ROR. When you set it to “case-sensitive”, you should be able to have e.g. “user1” and “User1” names in the “users” section (at least I think it should behave like this). Would it solve your problem?
