Robert, thanks for your report. As I'm pretty sure it's not only moodle.org which is affected, I've changed the issue project from 'Moodle.org sites' to 'Moodle'.

Reassigning the issue to the Networking component lead.

This is actually not intended to send you an email.

If you can enter an email address that matched the username you originally entered in the login page , it matches that user record to the mnet host it originated from, and then should print you a link to login at that mnet host, so that you can roam back to the moodle you're trying to log in at.

The way to fix this is:

  • Fix the sql statement that results in ambiguity about which host they might belong to (local users should be excluded, and they're not)
  • Communicate to the user more clearly what the function of the screen is
  • Add some error handling (there is currently none)

I committed a fix for this to HEAD - just waiting on finding out about adding new strings in stable.

Penny, thanks for fixing this issue. Just reopening in order to mark as resolved, then the fix can be tested and the QA assignee can close it.
