[Bug 1823783] [NEW] Can't set remoteusername anymore

 

Public bug reported:

Tested in Mahara 18.10 and master

It is not possible anymore to change the remote username from the site
user account settings screen /admin/users/edit.php?id= (Admin menu ->
Users -> User search -> Click on a username). When a remote auth method
(MNet, SAML, web services) is selected, the field "Username for external
authentication" should become visible so that the remote username can be
entered or changed there.

I don't see that field anymore (see attached screenshot).

To replicate:

1. Set up an institution with MNet or SAML.
2. Set the auth method for a user account to MNet / SAML.
Expected result: The "Username for external authentication" field should show up.
Actual result: Nothing happens, not even after saving the page.
