I've used code from ipalib/plugins/host.py to add support for random password generation. The '--random' option is now available in user-add and user-mod commands. If both the 'password' and 'random' options are used the 'random' option will be ignored. Two test cases were added to unit test's module test_user_plugin.py - they test creating and modifying user with random password. Two fuzzy tests were added: test for password(string that doesn't start or end with whitespace and doesn't containt other whitespace than ' ') and for whatever string(because of krbextradata). I've slightly modified ipa_generate_password in order to make passwords for users more user-friendly(reduce number of non-letters). It has two optional parameters now - first one is string of characters that should be used for generating the passwd and second one is length of password. If none parameter is set default values will be used so there's no need to modify other plugins that use random password generator. https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/1979
IPA Server
What is it?
-----------
For efficiency, compliance and risk mitigation, organizations need to
centrally manage and correlate vital security information including:
* Identity (machine, user, virtual machines, groups, authentication
credentials)
* Policy (configuration settings, access control information)
* Audit (events, logs, analysis thereof)
Since these are not new problems. there exist many approaches and
products focused on addressing them. However, these tend to have the
following weaknesses:
* Focus on solving identity management across the enterprise has meant
less focus on policy and audit.
* Vendor focus on Web identity management problems has meant less well
developed solutions for central management of the Linux and Unix
world's vital security info. Organizations are forced to maintain
a hodgepodge of internal and proprietary solutions at high TCO.
* Proprietary security products don't easily provide access to the
vital security information they collect or manage. This makes it
difficult to synchronize and analyze effectively.
