oauth2-proxy has an option to pass a http basic auth header. It also allows to set a generic pw for this header, but it does not use the "preferred username" for the user part. It uses the userid of the authentication provider, and this is an UUID and not an username.

While it is technically possible to add this UUID as an username inside calibre (it works), this is very ugly. Having some readable username instead of a string of random numbers (e.g. 38737660a-df157-2c82-a93c-0c223d6389dc) is much more convenient when configuring access to libraries.
