Microsoft Block Office 365 Link

Microsoft Block Office 365 Link

This is a development on the classic problem of institutions having to change user login names.

In this particular university:

  • we use LDAP authentication for Moodle
  • we setup the Office 365 integration, but did not change the authentication method
  • we use the Microsoft Block on the dashboard to manually link to Office 365

My question is this:  what will happen to the established link if the username for the account changes in Active Directory? This can happen with a marriage/divorce, or an adoption, for example. The username and email address will change for authentication, but will we have to make sure the old account is un-linked in Moodle first? Otherwise, with a different username, Moodle may report that that the account is already linked.

Related to that, is there a way to view all linked accounts in the Office 365 Integration local plugin?
