Bug Summary
We are using awx 17.1.0 for configuration management and integrated with saml for SSO login. Sometimes, while uses are login using SSO, awx is creating a duplicate id. For example, my user ID is VENKAT. When I logged using SSO, it's creating very lengthy and duplicate user id as "VENKATajhdueijdbbxbdh".
Can you please let us know how to fix this issue?

Hi!
This is the expected behavior if user "VENKAT" was already a local user in AWX, and then you tried to use SAML login for an account with the same username. Upon SAML login, a new user will be created with the suffix (VENKATajhdueijdbbxbdh), as you found.
To verify this, you should see that VENKAT exists as a normal (non social) user in AWX.
for example, on the Users page
awx_admin was first a local user. Then I logged in to SAML with awx_admin, and the newly created social user in AWX has the suffix, as seen in the screenshot above.
let use know if that helps explain the issue.
@fosterseth Thanks for the explanation. But how the local user already exists ? Because of LDAP ? We use saml login everytime for new user or existing user.
Can you please lets us know how to fix this issue ?
