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

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Fix Released

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?
