[keycloak-dev] brokered username

[Stian Thorgersen]

Works for now.

We need to improve on this soon though, it's been outstanding to long. My proposal is:

1. We set a attribute on user that username is generated
2. When username is generated username/password is not displayed in account management
3. We add an option on a identity provider to set if users can enable regular login or not, values for this feature is on/off/required
4. If this is enabled in account management there's an option to set username/password to enable regular login - only once then it converts to displaying username + password reset
5. We add a require action to set username/password - if the option in 3 is set to required after first login with identity provider the user is required to set username + password to enable account
6. We also add an option on a realm to allow users to change username
