Idea #12945

Updated by Tom Morris over 6 years ago

Below is a sketch of the implementation to be tested and documented: 

 It is possible to change authentication providers for a user account. Examples: 
 * A user’s account is attached to Google account person@old.example.com, but the user now wishes to log in with Google account person@new.example.com instead. 
 * A user used to log in with LDAP authentication, but now wishes to log in with Google account person@new.example.com instead. 

 
 Currently, it is only possible for an administrator to make this change. 
 Procedure: 
 * Determine the user’s existing UUID. 
 * Clear the identity_url field of the existing user record. 
 * Add a Link object with the following attributes: 
 <pre> 
 { 
   "link_class":"permission", 
   "name":"can_login", 
   "tail_uuid":"person@new.example.com", 
   "head_uuid":"aaaaa-tpzed-abcdefghijklmno", 
   "properties":{ 
     "identity_url_prefix":"https://www.google.com/" 
   } 
 } 
 </pre> 
 *Have Have the user log in using their person@new.example.com Google account.
