[midPoint] HowTo: Welcome mail send only once

[Ivan Noris]

Hi Mike,

what about trying *userPasswordNotifier*? It is very similar to 
accountPasswordNotifier, but it uses midPoint password and not account 
password.

If you create users and generate their passwords in a single step, this 
might well be what you want.

Best regards,

Ivan
