Use fullname and first_name/last_name ~interchangeably
dehnert opened this issue · 0 comments
Expected behaviour
When the SAML backend supplies a fullname
, my Django user should have first_name
and last_name
set: if fullname
is set but not first_name
/last_name
, PSA should (optionally?) generate a first_name
and last_name
automatically (my inclination is something like first_name, _space, last_name = fullname.rpartition(' ')
). If there are systems (that is, non-Django web frameworks) that want a fullname
, it should do the opposite transformation when fullname
is missing.
Actual behaviour
My Django user has neither first_name nor last_name.
What are the steps to reproduce this issue?
Input clear steps to reproduce the issue for a maintainer.
- Use social_django
- Configure the SAML backend to return a fullname, but not a first_name or last_name
- Log in using SAML
- Observe that the Django user created doesn't have a first_name/last_name set
Any logs, error output, etc?
N/A
Any other comments?
Unfortunate I don't understand how data flows through PSA well enough to supply a patch.
I suspect that this ideally wants to be configurable (on/off and perhaps a custom fullname
->first_name
/last_name
function) per-backend.
