Description

User rights are defined in the same place as user authentication: in rudder-users.xml.
This file is divided into <authentication> sections, each section having a specific hash type associated.

User coming from external authentication can be in any section and their password is just ignored.
As a user I expect to be able to not specify a password at all nor a hash type.

So I suggest to create a new <authentication hash="external"> section allowing to not specify any password at all within <user>'s
