Overview
Allows proxies to pass
X-Remote-User-Name
header to set preferred username. Also adds tests.Perhaps authproxy should be extended to allow any claims, instead of adding headers for preferred username, picture, etc? But that's out of scope for this PR.
What this PR does / why we need it
Resolves #3876.
Special notes for your reviewer
Defaults to the value of
X-Remote-User
(user name), to preserve the existing default. But we may want to change this because preferred username = shorthand, and user name = display name.
