Comment 2 for bug 843186

Hey Z,

OK, so the spec says that password is a required piece of information in the PasswordCredentials struct (or at least, the example (page 21) shows a password field and no mention is made that the password is optional.

Indeed, in /keystone/logic/types/auth.py, we see this in PasswordCredentials.from_xml():

            password = root.get("password")
            if password == None:
                raise fault.BadRequestFault("Expecting a password")

So, either the spec or the code needs to change ;)

Plus, I created a test that passes None in the json/xml struct for password, and the server happily let me create the user anyway, so the code above doesn't quite work as expected :)
