NetBox version

v3.4.7

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

Add a variable REMOTE_AUTH_FULL_NAME or similar which would define a header that provides the user's full name. This would then update the Full Name field in the user's profile.

Use case

Netbox displays the full name in various places since https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/8556 and https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/8894, so it would be good to be able to automatically populate that field.

Database changes
