Switching from Integrated to Standalone users can't authenticate

If you switch from Integrated Users to Plain XML Users without re-installing, any user names created in the Integrated mode cannot be used to create an account because the system says the name is not available.

In both modes users' profiles are stored in XML files in a directory on your PC. In the integrated mode the XML file does not contain a password (just a dummy one).

If you switch from integrated mode to standalone, the XML will be there for the users you created in the integrated mode, but you will not be able to use their profile because of the dummy password.

To avoid this delete the XML files if you switch.
