Two things to do here: 1- change the description of the field
2- allow admins to change someone's username without logging in as them -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Committers, which is subscribed to Mahara. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/633273 Title: Changing username for external authentication does not change Mahara username Status in Mahara ePortfolio: Confirmed 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? _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mahara-core Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mahara-core More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
