Feature Request: Pre-fill username in first login screen OIDC auth, or skip first login screen #10785

Open RemieJanssen opened 2 months ago

RemieJanssen commented 2 months ago

Overview of the Feature Request We are using the OIDC authprovider and find that in the first login screen/form, the username is blank, even though it is part of the standard OIDC claim. We would like the username to be prefilled, just like the Given Name, Family Name and Email fields.

Ideally, but this may be a separate issue, we would like to skip this first login screen altogether. The OIDC connection is a connection to our institute's AD, so we can be confident this 'default' information is correct. Having the form only provides room for error and may be confusing to our users.

See also: issue #6690

What kind of user is the feature intended for? Curator, Depositor

What inspired the request? The use of a OIDC connection.

What existing behavior do you want changed? The first login screen: it should either be prefilled completely, or there should be a setting to skip that screen entirely.

Any open or closed issues related to this feature request? This is effectively a reopening of issue #6690, which was closed because it was opened before 2020.

Are you thinking about creating a pull request for this feature?
I might, but I'm not familiar with the code base enough to fix it quickly yet.

There is a PoC with this functionality https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/pull/10278. The code needs a bit of refactoring to reduce the amount of duplicated code...

That's great, https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/pull/10278 seems to be exactly what I am looking for! If we find the time to try it out we will share our experiences
