I'm trying rename a user(change it's username and subject in SQL-Table-Users), this user is login though OIDC. I can rename it. But when this user login again, the username will recover.

I try to delete the 'DEL xorm:sql:users:1590036933'(all'xorm:sql:users*') in redis, but when login again, these item will also recover.

The cache should not make a difference here. Does it work if you disable the cache?

Did you change the username in Vikunja or in the OIDC service?

Why do you want to change the username in the first place?

Yes, when I disable cache. It worked as my exception.

Yes, I changed the usename in the OIDC. then I try to change this usename in Vikunja, too.

Why do you want to change the username in the first place?

this is a long story....

Did you get a randomly generated username or did Vikunja pick up the username from the oidc provider? The provider should report the username as "preferred username" in order for this to work.
I'm not 100% sure but iirc it will only set the username when logging in for the first time.

Usernames in Vikunja are considered unique and not changeable.
