Auto create users with UPN (mail address) as username in Netbox - Azure AD SSO - Python Social Auth

[Dark-DK]

Hi all

First things first; I'm running NetBox in docker and running v3.4.2.
Azure AD SSO is working just fine using Python Social Auth and auto creation of users is also working perfectly.
I suspect that I'm having these issues to the it being run from Docker.

However I would like to change it so that it will auto-create users with their e-mail address as the username instead of the default (name without spaces).

I've found this which indicated to do just that - however it is a rather old one:
https://gist.github.com/nahun/5d4d715ca37a2465aaf59ab152413dc2

It seems that one must change the default SOCIAL_AUTH_PIPELINE, but I cannot figure out how to make the stuff from the file "custom_pipeline.py" make it's way to the docker instance and work.

I've tried to put it into my own file that I've created in the configuration/ folder

This is what I've come up with in my own .py file:

REMOTE_AUTH_ENABLED=True
REMOTE_AUTH_AUTO_CREATE_USER=True
REMOTE_AUTH_BACKEND='social_core.backends.azuread.AzureADOAuth2'
SOCIAL_AUTH_AZUREAD_OAUTH2_KEY='
SOCIAL_AUTH_AZUREAD_OAUTH2_SECRET=''
SOCIAL_AUTH_REDIRECT_IS_HTTPS=True



class AuthFailed(Exception):
    pass

def set_username(response, *args, **kwargs):
    return { 'username': response['upn'].lower() }


SOCIAL_AUTH_PIPELINE = (
    'social_core.pipeline.social_auth.social_details',
    'social_core.pipeline.social_auth.social_uid',
    'social_core.pipeline.social_auth.auth_allowed',
    'social_core.pipeline.social_auth.social_user',
    'social_core.pipeline.user.get_username',
    'set_username',
    'social_core.pipeline.user.create_user',
    'social_core.pipeline.social_auth.associate_user',
    'social_core.pipeline.social_auth.load_extra_data',
    'social_core.pipeline.user.user_details'
)

For the above I get the following error:
Exception Value: not enough values to unpack (expected 2, got 1)

I believe my issue is that I do not know how to properly make the function "set_username" and call it correctly from the Social Auth Pipeline.

Any and all help will be much appreciated!
