Deprecated bits

The following settings are deprecated in favor of pipeline functions.

• These settings should be avoided and override get_username pipeline entry with the desired behavior:

  SOCIAL_AUTH_FORCE_RANDOM_USERNAME
  SOCIAL_AUTH_DEFAULT_USERNAME
  SOCIAL_AUTH_UUID_LENGTH
  SOCIAL_AUTH_USERNAME_FIXER
  SOCIAL_AUTH_ASSOCIATE_URL_NAME
  

• User creation setting should be avoided and remove the entry create_user from pipeline instead:

  SOCIAL_AUTH_CREATE_USERS
  

• Automatic data update should be stopped by overriding update_user_details pipeline entry instead of using this setting:

  SOCIAL_AUTH_CHANGE_SIGNAL_ONLY
  

• Extra data retrieval from providers should be stopped by removing load_extra_data from pipeline instead of using this setting:

  SOCIAL_AUTH_EXTRA_DATA
  

• Automatic email association should be avoided by removing associate_by_email pipeline entry instead of using this setting:

  SOCIAL_AUTH_ASSOCIATE_BY_MAIL
  

• Associate URLs are deprecated since the login ones can handle the case, this avoids issues where providers check the redirect URI and redirects to the configured value in the application. So, from now on a single entry point is recommended being:

  /<social auth path>/login/<backend>/

  And to complete the process:

  /<social auth path>/complete/<backend>/
