Support users with no password

Hi,

I think it is a good idea to authorize users with blank password. So we can use ldap to have systems account that only can connect with public key.

Cheers

hello,

as discussed a better idea would be a password method called ssh-key-only or something like that

Cheers

At first I thought I would just add a method which leaves the field userPassword empty and not ask for any password, but this would result in a weird situation as password is supposed to be mandatory for new users, so it would mean behavior for empty userPassword field because user is new or because ldap field is empty would need to be treated differently which is unusual. I’m not sure how template would behave for instance.

So I’d feel better if we used some magic value for userPassword which disables login, like we do for user locking. I need to check if there is some standard for this and what makes the most sense.
