    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Alexander,<br>
      <br>
      I'm afraid that the answer is again "no". MidPoint was not
      designed as an authentication server therefore we haven't
      considered such function. Provisioning system are relatively
      complex and therefore they are not ideal as high-performance
      authentication systems.<br>
      <br>
      What we usually do is an LDAP server that contains all the
      midPoint users (provisioned by usual LDAP connector). And the you
      can check password against that LDAP server using usual BIND
      operation. This solution may seem slightly complex but it has many
      advantages such as performance, scalability and availability.<br>

            Alexander,<br>
            <br>
            that's a meaningful request. <br>
            <br>
            Such feature is planned (see <a moz-do-not-send="true"
              href="https://jira.evolveum.com/browse/MID-1876">https://jira.evolveum.com/browse/MID-1876</a>
            - your scenario could be realized e.g. via setting "don't
            execute changes" flag), unfortunately, it is not implemented
            yet and probably will not be part of 3.0.<br>
            Hopefully it will be in some of the maintenance/patch
            releases after 3.0.<br>
            <br>
            Best regards,<br>
