[keycloak-user] Users (related to LDAP) are gone when I change the username

I configured "mail" as "Username LDAP Attribute" and "uid" as "RDN LDAP
Attribute" and set some configs on LDAP Mapper.
but I got an error:

Could not create user: org.keycloak.models.ModelException: RDN Attribute
[uid] is not filled. Filled attributes: {mail=[], cn=[ ], sn=[ ],
createTimestamp=[], modifyTimestamp=[]}


maybe, change username could be a bad practice. Could be better if I set a
special number on username, such as timestamp. This could solve my issue

Thanks Marek
