-------------------------------------------+------------------------
Django allows to have user accounts with unusable passwords, either
because authentication uses a different mechanism (e.g. LDAP) or because
the User object is still needed (e.g. because it is referenced by a
ForeignKey) but the user should no longer be allowed to log in.
However, this functionality is not available from the admin UI. When
creating a user or changing the password I am forced to enter a password.
I propose to make the password fields optional in the Admin UI and set an
unusable password if they are blank.
I am sorry if this has been discussed before. I looked before posting this
but could not find anything.
