[Bug 986005] Re: If a user has an authentication method of BrowserID in an institution they are not a member of then their login fails

 

Hugh, from the description, this 'bug' sounds like intended behaviour,
can you explain in greater detail why it's a problem?  Why should users
be able to log in with an authentication method from the wrong
institution?

Title:
  If a user has an authentication method of BrowserID in an institution
  they are not a member of then their login fails

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  This only happens if "No Institution" (or any other institutions the
  user is a member of) has no BrowserID authentication method.

  This is a problem with the new registration method in bug #986004,
  where the user still needs to be approved by the administrator even
  though they have a mahara account. They won't be able to login with
  this account, even when the administrator declines their request to
  join.
