UI/API: Don't make password a mandatory parameter for the creation of LDAP/SAML account #12039

Description

@kiranchavala

The required feature described as a wish

Issue:

Currently, the password admin user sets for ldap and saml accounts during creation is useless, as the main authentication happens via ldap and saml servers

Since the password is set on the saml or ldap servers, and cloudstack mainly authenticates based on the global setting values of

ldap.username.attribute
saml2.user.attribute

The account/user creation form should not show the password section text box if the admin user wants to create ldap or saml account.
