We went live on Discourse about two years ago, and we are using SSO from our main back office system as the authentication provider. It uses an external id (GUID).

We’re getting ready to change our main back office system to another vendor. They support OAuth2/OpenID but when we convert to this new system, our user’s external ids (GUID) will change. So I’m wondering if others have been down this road and if I’ll have to somehow do a mass update of the external ids currently stored in our Discourse?
