Hybris how to have different customers by website with same uid?

Question

We want to have separate customers in a hybris instance with 4 websites. "Separate" means that :

• It must be possible to create a customer with the same "uid" on the 4 websites. Currently isn't possible because "uid" is unique.

• The addresses of customers must be separate too...

• Orders must be separate, but already done by hybris with personnalization

It is possible to customize Hybris in order to have in the same tenant/DB multiple users with the same ID but in different sites?

In the case that this is possible, which are the steps (in broad terms) needed to achieve this?

Answer 1

Possible solution would be:

1. create or register customer with appending site uid so resultant customer uid will be unique(customeruid+"_"+"siteuid")
2. during login user need to put only customerid so this need customization and to customize it need to extend CoreAuthenticationProvider and change it to proper user.
