[jira] [Updated] (SYNCOPE-136) Password required for resource
subscription
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SYNCOPE-136?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Francesco Chicchiriccò updated SYNCOPE-136:
-------------------------------------------
Description:
Currently, cleartext password is always required when subscribing to a new external resource.
However, in some cases (for example when passwords are stored with some symmetric algorithm) this can be avoided.
For example, it could be:
Case 1: 2-way (a.k.a. symmetric) password cipher algorithm is configured in Syncope
Use decrypted password from SyncopeUser to subscribe new resource.
Case 2: 1-way (a.k.a. hash or asymmetric) password cipher algorithm is configured in Syncope and no clear-text password is available (for example, passed via UserMod or provided by a synchronizing resource)
Provide, on a resource-basis, a mean to configure how new password should be generated:
* constant
* random password generation (compliant with resource password policy, if present - see SYNCOPE-121)
* provide custom Java class
