Question

I am trying to remove the unique index on emailCanonical, so that multiple users can share the same email address. However, I do not want to edit FOS/UserBundle/Resources/config/doctrine/User.orm.xml directly as any updates to the bundle itself will remove the change. Is there any way I can override the emailCanonical field in my own bundle, while extending the base user (FOS/UserBundle/Model/User.php)

use FOS\UserBundle\Entity\User as BaseUser;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
use Foo\BarBundle\Constant\SecurityConstant;

class User extends BaseUser {
    protected $id;
...
}

Thanks in advance!

The only way to do this is to extend the FOS\UserBundle\Model\User class and then re-do all of the mapping (everything in User.orm.xml) yourself.
