[keycloak-dev] Move email first name, last name and email to be stored as user attribute, not UserModel property?

[Vlastimil Elias]

Hi,

as part of planned persistence storage SPI changes we talked about on 
f2f we should probably consider removing of first name, last name and 
email from UserModel property, but implement them as normal user 
attributes with predefined names.

This unification should simplify few things, for example separate 
mappers for attributes and properties in Clients and Identity Providers 
configuration, which may be hard to understand for beginners (questions 
like "what the hell is difference between user properties and 
attributes?", "What user properties are available there?").

This should also simplify implementation of User profile validation SPI 
we talked about on f2f meeting.

What do you think?

Vl.
