It is useful to have stable and unique identifiers for a security principal.
The majority of identitiy management systems in use with Unix systems today
(e.g. Active Directory objectGUID, FreeIPA ipaUniqueID, Kanidm UUIDs) assign
each account and group a unique UUID and exposing that to applications allows
them to refer to accounts in a stable manner.
This change does not implement user or group lookup by UUID; that is left for
a later PR.
Since 56b2970 has proven to be a no-go for us, as it breaks existing
links, let's embrace the trailing slash and use absolute links
everywhere for our pages. This way we'll get around browser cleverly
appending the relative link to the current location (since it ends with
a slash), and given our docs/ layout is flat it's not much of a hassle
either.
Converted using this beauty:
$ sed -ri 's/(\[.+\]\()([A-Z_]+\))/\1\/\2/g' *.md
Resolves: #32088 (again) and #32310
This reverts commit 5e8ff010a1.
This broke all the URLs, we can't have that. (And actually, we probably don't
_want_ to make the change either. It's nicer to have all the pages in one
directory, so one doesn't have to figure out to which collection the page
belongs.)
I have no idea if this is going to cause rendering problems, and it is fairly
hard to check. So let's just merge this, and if it github markdown processor
doesn't like it, revert.
