Ah, it was sorta buggy, if you did this: 1. Set up two auth instances that can take an external username 2. Assign a user to one of them, and give them an external username in that auth. 3. Save. 4. Now, go to the user's account settings page, and switch them to the other external auth
Expected Result: External username field on the page should be empty, because the user doesn't have an external username registered with this auth yet Actual Result: The external username field on the page is NOT empty, but continues to show the external username for the first auth. That's because the code didn't bother switching the field to blank, if there was no username stored. It's handy to have it populate the stored username from the author auth automatically. But I think it's handier to tell users the truth, and only show them data in that form field if there actually is corresponding data in the auth_remote_user table. So I'll add this to my patch also. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara.

This is confusing when you want to check if an auth instance works correctly because you will have to check the database (in 2 different places) or at least do a user report which pulls the remotuser value from the "correct" DB table. Mahara should only display a remoteuser if it really exists.
