Description
The determine_username_from_uid_social pipeline was selecting the 'username' value from the pipeline kwargs/details, which is generally correct for most authenticators, however for SAML specifically the 'uid' is not the exact username, but the username prepended with 'IdP:' (hard coded for our SAML authenticators). The incorrect use of 'username' was causing the AuthenticatorUser not to be found. This was OK in the case that another user didn't exist with the same email, but if such a user does exist, the authentication process errors out with a "more than one user found" error, blocking the SAML user from logging in permanently unless the "conflicting" local user was removed.
