Maybe the question I need to ask first is how can we have two usernames for the same user?
You don't. Users are uniquely defined by their User-Name.
i.e. 'jonathan' and 'a463.0dfe.ab36' as usernames for the same account credentials?
You can't. If you have "a463.0dfe.ab36", how do you determine that it's really "jonathan"? The only way I can think of is to have a separate mapping table in SQL. It should have two columns, one with things like "a463.0dfe.ab36", and the other with the real names. Then when you get a request which has a name like "a463.0dfe.ab36", you look it up in the table to get the "real" name. But this is a very custom solution. You'll have to design it and implement it yourself. It's not part of any standard configuration. Alan DeKok.
