[midPoint] Generate credentials through object template

[Pavol Mederly]

Hello Jason,

The Java code is almost OK - I would just change "> 0" to ">= 2" 
or ">= 4" (i.e. >=2, >=4) in first two and the third line, 
respectively, in order to threat short names/UIDnumber that would lead 
to IndexOutOfBoundsException.

And, as for the target path: It's hard to say. The way you've chosen 
seems to be logical. This part of midPoint is not much documented, so 
the only documentation is the code. And the code that implements 
credentials mappings is quite old and in some aspects not adequate (as 
I've learned recently), so it will be probably changed in near future. 
Therefore we are on thin ice here.

My suggestion: leave it as it is (if it's working). Maybe you could test 
it on a user that has no password at all, if it works also in this 
situation. And before any upgrade of midPoint (e.g. to 3.4.1 or 3.5), 
just retest it.

I've created a JIRA issue for this (MID-3330 
<https://jira.evolveum.com/browse/MID-3330>). It's not a much work, but 
most probably it would require a request of a subscriber or a little 
sponsoring.

Best regards,
