There's no way to do it via the UI.  I've done it via creating a user
via the UI and then changing the relevant column in the table that
contains the usernames.  (In a test scenario, I was authenticating via
PAM, and my username was 'hile', so I initially created my SW user as
'coyhile' and changed it manually.)

It was a simple UPDATE query in Oracle to do so.
