On update of shared account name, don't update refworks login name/password #7

enables us to change the names of accounts but still get access via username and password stored originally in myCourse so everything remains linked.

Can you say a bit more about the current behaviour? What breaks when you reneame a shared account?

Testing this out...15/01/13 - renamed x2 test accounts - can still get in as readinglist login, can individual users still get in?

Discovered that provided we have an up-to-date list of passwords from database table in myCourse, then can find account and login using username/password and group code without a problem. Can also changed shared account names and all associated users can still login and get access. So only time this will be a problem is if we change a shared account name, and then want to get access via RefWorks (rather than myReferences), and can't get an updated password list. I think this is going to be rare occurance? These problems occurred during migration between 1.9 and 2 so think unlikely to happen again.
