Creating an external user without a password from the GUI.
My company security department recommends M2M communication using tokens.
I need to create a technical user without a password, which I can then generate a Global Analysis Token for
Currently, this is only possible through complex API queries, and as the main administrator, I’d suggest to have it in the GUI.
Hi,
Can you explain why you want to do this? I understand that your security department recommends tokens for communication, but surely that doesn’t mean you need to create an account with a blank password: create a technical account with a password - as one would normally do - and then create a user token from that account.
Could you share how you managed to do this? Honestly, it shouldn’t be possible.
Thx,
Ann
Bruteforce and break the password easily.
Our Secu Department requires authentication with no “login+passowrd” for technical account at all.
Hi,
You don’t want to set a blank password. You want to remove the ability to use a password! Okay! I understand now.
That’s not something we currently support. I’ll flag this for the PMs.
