-------------------------------------------------------------------------
What I am going to implement:
If password is not provided during resource subscription (e.g. when create() is
performed on the underlying connector):
* if AES is configured for user passwords, decrypt and use
* if the propagating resource is configured for random password generation,
generate using PasswordGenerator from SYNCOPE-121 and use
* if none of the above, raise exception (as currently doing)

Additionally, for SyncTask, behind the current possibility to specify a JEXL
expression for user template's password (to be used when creating users upon
synchronization), random password generation will be also available as
configuration option.
> Password required for resource subscription

> Key: SYNCOPE-136
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SYNCOPE-136
> Project: Syncope
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Francesco Chicchiriccò
> Assignee: Francesco Chicchiriccò
> Fix For: 1.1.0
>
>
> 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
> Discussion thread:
