Nickname change

Users can change their nickname, which is a serious issue with our use case. This should be blocked.

Probably related to https://git.happy-dev.fr/startinblox/components/sib-chat/issues/74

If you can't change your nickname yourself, you can't join groupchat who contains user with the same name as you.

Let say :

• Jacques D lives on Paris.
• Jacques C lives on Mexico.
• #sib-is-awesome is a MUC on Paris.
• Jacques & Jacques username is "jacques" on their respective servers.
• First Jacques on #sib-is-awesome can join. Second can't.

in startinblox/components/sib-chat#74 I suggested that we use jabberIDs as nicknames, and display the full name

For now, we're setting it there : https://git.happy-dev.fr/startinblox/components/sib-chat/blob/master/sib-chat.js#L107

We can change it for name but we'll still face the same problem.

Also it seems that conversejs show the name from the vcard, so the one showed on the MUC can be overwrited by the one prosody serve. @pierredelacroix Any way to include it on the vcard ? If it's already on, we could just put anything unique on nickname & only use the petname from VCard.

Cool, please add any comment on the other issue if you have

https://git.happy-dev.fr/startinblox/components/sib-chat/issues/74 is more a visual issue.

It's not the same problem. Whatever you decide on, the problem here is the same.

Yes but if we separate the display and the technical one, then I guess there's no drawback at using the jid as a technical nickname.

I do agree JID is the shit for a unique identifier
