Public bug reported:

1.3.0cr,  PostgreSQL

Our institution is using LDAP authentication for the Mahara application.
When faculty do not yet have a NetID, I had hoped to register them in
with a temp ID, and use the internal authentication.  Later, when they
recieved a NetID, I would change their username to the new NetID and
change authentication type to the LDAP.  When I try to do this, the
username is saved in the "Username for external authentication", but as
Admin, I still see their old (temporary) ID next to their name.

Is this a bug?  Or, does the initial ID remain in the Mahara database,
regardless of the authentication username associated with the account?
