Description

We need a kind of password field for Technique parameters, that will be translated visually as follow in a Directive:

  • a password type input text (with *** in place of characters)
  • a list of hash algorythme to use (crypt, md5, sha256, etc)
  • if the password field was already filled, the resulting hash, for ex: SHA1:40285A0854205

In LDAP, we only store the hashed value (with the algo used).

The field is considered:

  • empty if no value if filled in the input field, nor no hash already exists;
  • not updated if no value is filled in the input field and a hash already exists;
  • updated as soon as a value is filled in the input field.

That means that a password can never be blanked (and so, if the Technique logic require that possibility, a second field "use password / blank password" should be created).
