Cannot Request Users With long userid After Patching to DE-93

Issue

• We use this code to secure our API calls in our customization:
  

  (request variable is an HttpServletRequest object from @Context annotation)
  
  long userId = GetterUtil.getLong(request.getRemoteUser()); 
  user = UserLocalServiceUtil.getUser(userId);

• However, after patching to DE-93 from DE-59 this code only calls default Liferay user. Because of this, users can't log in after applying the patch.

Environment

• DXP 7.0

Resolution

• In this case, it is resolved by using the PortalUtil class PortalUtil.getUser(HttpServletRequest request) Liferay API

Additional Information

• More information can be found in our release notes.
