Ah now I see what is going on - there are two authinstance columns, one in usr, one in auth_remote_user.
If I update a user's auth on /admin/users/edit.php it updates both table columns But if I do bulk update it only updates the usr table and not the auth_remote_usr table as well Right will try and fix ** Changed in: mahara Assignee: (unassigned) => Robert Lyon (robertl-9) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara.

Thus, you'll need to redo the remote username from scratch. There should be a help button with info about what happens so admins aren't surprised when the remote username is suddenly missing.
