Just a note: the ruid should be unique per record, it is fine if you
have one registration per username. It might not have impact if you do
not use gruu extensions of some functions that need the ruid (e.g.,
unregister by ruid, location record attribtues), but it would be safer
to just set it to a unique random value.

Cheers,
