Bug Description

Hi!
By example, you have a Launchpad ID: https://launchpad.net/~my_name. You're ownership of a LoCo team and you will be "Logged in as: my_name" in the footer of http://loco.ubuntu.com.

And you choose here: https://launchpad.net/~my_name/+edit another "name" (The field is: "A short unique name, beginning with a lower-case letter or number, and containing only letters, numbers, dots, hyphens, or plus signs").
By example, you will choose "my_new_name", then your new Launchpad ID will be: https://launchpad.net/~my_new_name

The bug is: You will see again "Logged in as: my_name" in the footer of http://loco.ubuntu.com, it must be "Logged in as: my_new_name", and you will LOSE the ownership of your LoCo Teams for change the LoCo details.

Best regards and thanks.

I have a question: is the new team owner not updated to my_new_name some time later?

@Daniel: I don't understand your doubt: Not exists a "new" team owner, the team owner change his Launchpad ID, and he will lose him ownership in http://loco.ubuntu.com.

But the LoCo Directory gets exactly this data from Launchpad regularly (like every few minutes).

Do you have a conrete example?

@Daniel: Yes, my user xD I'm the owner of ubuntu-ast: http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-ast.

All is right in the web (The owner is update in the web), but http://loco.ubuntu.com identify me with my old Launchpad ID, then I can't change any information in the team.

See this pictures, please:
My actual name in Launchpad: http://flic.kr/p/8vJZXv
How http://loco.ubuntu.com identify me: http://flic.kr/p/8vJZXx

All is correct, unless the identification with the old Launchpad ID.

Not sure why this is, but bug 622183 seems to be the same.

<dholbach> I'm not sure I understand. Let's say I rename my LP ID from A to B, the directory knew that A was the admin of a team before, but with the next cronjob run it knows that B is an admin and after logging out and logging back in again, B should be logged in and have the right permissions?
<stuartm> right. except the openid auth doesn't seem to be detecting to the change to B so it thinks I'm still A
<dholbach> why is that? if I give it my email address and everything, why doesn't it pass back B as username?
<dholbach> maybe I'm a bit thick today, it's Friday :)
<stuartm> dholbach: the directory should do an openid lookup against the new username. this is available from the <head> of launchpad.net/~<username>
<stuartm> so if you look at the source of https://launchpad.net/~dholbach , a little way down you'll see https://login.launchpad.net/+id/htDDpRh which is your real (unchanging) openid
<stuartm> the openid lib has code which does that already. I'll pastebin something for you
<dholbach> aha!
<dholbach> thanks a lot
<stuartm> dholbach: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/484405/
<dholbach> thanks a bunch stuartm! mind if I add the last snippet of our conversation to the bug?
<stuartm> that way you can cross-reference your perms updates with the openid which is stored on your system. because of the way you're using lp login (you should be using ubuntu sso btw ;) ) the openid won't change even if the username does
<stuartm> dholbach: sure
* dholbach hugs stuartm
<dholbach> thanks muchly

It's something that would need to be fixed in django-openid-auth
