The userNameAttributeName being passed from Okta is "sub" instead of "name"
We are integrating okta with a custom Spring application using OIDC. Okta sets the userNameAttibuteName to "sub" when authenticating; therefore, when we call authentication.getName() on the Oauth2 token, we get the actor id instead of the actual name of the user. Is there a way to override this to use the actual "name" attribute as opposed to the "sub" attribute?
