[midPoint] Possibility to check Password validity?

[Radovan Semancik]

Hi Alexander,

MidPoint internally has ModelInteractionService interface that is 
designed for this. But it is not exposed as a web service yet and it 
does not have validation methods. Maybe we can work from that.

This is a good idea. But i have checked our roadmaps and plans and I'm 
afraid that the roadmap is already full with feature requests from 
midPoint users that are supporting midPoint project - either by 
contributing the code or in the form of subscription. I think that it 
perfectly is understandable that requests from such users take priority. 
But I have created a feature request so we do not forget this idea:
https://jira.evolveum.com/browse/MID-1905
