Linking user with idp fails with generic message if user is already linked #45322

Description

@sguilhen

Description

When linking a user with an identity provider via client-initiated action, if the user already has a federated identity with that provider a generic error message is shown

Failed to make identity provider oauth callback

which doesn't really inform the user about what the real problem is. This issue aims to enhance the user experience by using a dedicated message when the user is already linked to the idp with a different federated id.

Value Proposition

Enhance the user experience by displaying a clear message showing why the account linking failed if the user already has a federated identity with the idp.

Goals

Create a dedicated error message for the scenario described above.

Non-Goals

It is a non goal to provide a way to override the previous identity in case it exists - we only aim to show a more descriptive error message.
