ID Security is a plugin I made to help with the upcoming changeover to UUIDs in minecraft 1.8. You use simple commands to protect your server and find out necessary details!

What is a UUID

In the upcoming versions of minecraft, players are going to be allowed to change their names and so a name is no longer secure enough to track players by. Instead we will now use unique identifier numbers (UUIDs) which wont change even if the the players name does. Many developers are beginning to update their plugins so that they work with this new method but there is a need to access these ID numbers (such as adding players into permission groups).

How does this plugin help?

Lots of plugins use the username to store data but this can't happen any more - this plugin allows you to easily find out the UUID so that you can switch over without any hassle. To make it even easier, it stores everyones name and UUID in a config file so you can access it even when they are offline. Also, if they change their name to one of your admins, they would have access to all of the admin permission... But not anymore. As soon as someone logs in, it checks to see if they have changed their name and if they have then it freezes them on the spot until an OP accepts their new name so that they don't have any power that they shouldn't have.

Commands

Command	Function	Permission
/IdReset <target name>	resets the UUID of the target player so that they are no longer frozen	OP
/IdResetAll	resets everyones UUID so that everyone can move again and keeps all of the Usernames up-to-date	OP
/Id	fetches your UUID in game	Default
/Id <target name>	fetches the UUID of the target player in game	OP

UPGRADING TO 1.1!

To upgrade to version 1.1, you must do the following BEFORE running the plugin. First make a backup of you player list (the "config.yml") and then rename this file to "players.yml" (without quotes). Run the server and a new config file will be made to change options and players will now be stored in the new "players.yml". You may wish to do a "/idresetall" to make sure player names are updated
