[midPoint] Possibility to check Password validity?

[Alexander Grzesik]

Hi Radovan,
 
It woud be great to be able to validate other fields too. But these are normally much easier because it could be done simply by checking is a value is set before saving. 
The password validation follows configurable rules and can not easily checked by external application.
We have an application where users can register and the user data is stored in midpoint and then synchronized to an LDAP.
In the registration form we need to check all requirements and validity before saving.
 
Regards
Alexander

Hi Alexander,

No. Currently there is no practical way how to do it using a web service. Of course you can just save the user and check the error. If user's password policy check fails then he whole operation is cancelled and nothing should be changed. However I understand that this is not an ideal way to do validation.

I like the suggestion behind your question. It would be a good idea to add special method for this. However I'm afraid we cannot do this for 3.0 release as the release date is almost upon us. We might be able to do this for 3.1 under some circumstances. But first let me understand a bit more about your use case. Is password the only field that you would like to validate? Or do you expect that you will need to also validate other fields?

Hi,
 
is there a way to check if a password is valid according to the Password Policy from the ModelClient before saving a user?
This would be helpful for us, as we create users from an external application and store in midpoint and would like to provide a validation in the GUI form.
Best Regards
Alexander
