Description

When Mentat does not get identity field, it throws up exceptions - which throws another.

Throwing exception is not itself wrong, throwing another based on the same reason from the handler is.

However, the problem might be legitimate (identity provider not sending attributes), so user should probably be somehow informed, instead of getting generic 500 page.

Also, exception handler should log some relevant info (obtained auth data or so) for admin debugging.

(Setting priority to low, as it is now mitigated by Shibboleth configuration on server, however we should look into it eventually.)

After discussion 2021-01-11:

rewrapped exception might be on purpose - would need to look into it if it's really necessary globally (not just in auth module)
user does actually not need not to be informed much more apart from that error occured - admins knows it happended because it's mailed to him and has to look into it anyway. So no change in presentation necessary.
However, exceptions, which leave app, should be logged with some more relevant info for debugging: session, cookie, request, user, environment. Flask might have some tools to help with this (something akin to cgitb).

Mek: handlers setting is in _setup_app_core - lib/vial/app.py
