NetBox Version

v4.5.2

Python Version

3.12

Steps to Reproduce

During initial setup i set REMOTE_AUTH_AUTO_CREATE_USER=ture
But now i need to restrict the Access, so i set it to false in the docker .env File
After changing REMOTE_AUTH_AUTO_CREATE_USER to false i stopped and started the container,
so the change of the env_var should apply.
I added
REMOTE_AUTH_GROUP_SYNC_ENABLED=true
REMOTE_AUTH_AUTO_CREATE_GROUPS=true
REMOTE_AUTH_GROUP_HEADER=roles
and in Keycloak i see "roles" is within the generated ID token.

Expected Behavior

After changing REMOTE_AUTH_AUTO_CREATE_USER to false, i should not be able to access Netbox with a unknown keycloak-User
a group with the value of roles from the ID token should be created and the user should be assigned to the group

Observed Behavior

Users still get autocreated
Groups are not getting synced
