Random value naming attribute and prefix for Guest Registration module
GoogleCodeExporter opened this issue · comments
The current implementation of the Guest Registration Module does not support
generating a random username. I guess the reason for this is that the ldap
naming attribute is supposed to be the username. Therefore the guest admin
enters it to make sense.
However, in most Identity Vault implementations I've seen the username isn't
the naming attribute. the naming attribute is the place holder for an UID that
never changes: the username can be changed easily as it is just a regular
attribute on that object. Therefore this enhancement request proposes an extra
option to generate the naming attribute with a random value, beside thew
current form field method. This works in an identical way as the current
functionality for the New User Registration module:
- add a random char range
- add a random char length
- add a prefix (see enhancement pwm #632)
The username itself can still be added to the form, so this functionality does
not break current deployments.
Attached a patch for 1.7.1
