** Description changed: - The User object in liblightdm doesn't provide a method to get the user - ID. This means you have to use getpwnam to get this if you want it, even - though liblightdm already knows the value. It would be nice to have an - API to get this directly. + [Impact] + The LightDM user list provided to greeters via liblightdm doesn't have a method to access the user ID. This requires a greeter that might need this information to do a second lookup to get it. + + [Test Case] + 1. Write a greeter that needs the user ID + Expected result: + Can do it. + Observed result: + Can't do it. + + [Regression Potential] + Low, the information was already in liblightdm, we just now expose it. Tested with regression tests.
