title: IBM WL.Client.getUserInfo - Discontinued in v8.0 - What's the replacement?
body: <p>I am using IBM MFP in my code and my current assignment involves migrating a project from MFP version v6.3 (Called as WorkLight) to Mobile First Platform v8.0.</p>
  
  <p>During the migration process, the following Client API methods are considered as discontinued in v8.0. When I looked at IBM support site, it is told "No replacement". There is no more detail given on this. The methods are,</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>WL.Client.getUserInfo</li>
  <li>WL.Client.updateUserInfo </li>
  <li>WL.Client.isUserAuthenticated</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Does any one know what exactly this term "No replacement" mean? Does it mean the equivalent code has to be manually written by the developer who previously used WL.Client.getUserInfo?</p>
  
  <p>This is the same case for other client API methods WL.Client.updateUserInfo &amp; WL.Client.isUserAuthenticated? </p>
  
  <p>Please help. I have gone through the IBM support knowledge centre, I don't see any page that gives a detailed explanation of <em>"No replacement"</em>.</p>
