Basic username management plugin for Waldur Site Agent

The default username management backend. It generates no usernames and looks none up: offering users keep whatever username Waldur already holds for them. Use it when usernames are assigned elsewhere (by Waldur, or by the service provider by hand) and the agent only needs to read them.

At a glance

Entry point Group Role
base waldur_site_agent.username_management_backends username management
Operation Behaviour
Generate a username No-op — returns an empty string, so no username is set
Look up an existing username No-op — returns None

base is the value username_management_backend takes when an offering does not set it, so this package must be installed alongside the agent even when no other username backend is used. For generated usernames see the LDAP plugin; for Waldur-to-Waldur federation see the Waldur plugin (waldur-identity-bridge).
