User xxx already exists with provider openid

[xinguaws]

What happened?

I switched from openid to saml around v0.7.8 or 0.7.9, users can log in normally after the switch, and user's mongo record attribute simply updated from provider: "openid" to provider: "saml", however, after upgraded to latest v0.8.0-rc3, I have users reported they can't login with error message: User xxx already exists with provider openid, I had to run a mongo query to manually updated the record, is this expected or a bug?

Yes this is expected now. There is no cross-over allowed now. The database entries have to be manually updated.
