Richard, shall we make this external auth field used for LDAP as well?

Title:
  Changing username for external authentication does not change Mahara username 

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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?
