A new property has been added to portal.property which allows administrators to control if passwords from LDAP should be imported into Liferay's database.

#

1. Set this to false when the LDAP user's password should not be imported.
   #
   ldap.import.user.password.enabled=true

#

1. Set this to true to autogenerate the password for imported user from LDAP
2. This property is only in use if the property
3. "ldap.import.user.password.enabled" is set to false.
   #
   ldap.import.user.password.autogenerated=false

#

1. Set either screenName or plain text as the default password for the
2. imported LDAP user. Setting the value to screenName will use the user's
3. screen name as the password for the imported LPDA user. Setting the value
4. to any other plain text value will use that value as the password for the
5. imported LPDA user. This property is only in use if the properties
6. "ldap.import.user.password.enabled" and
7. "ldap.import.user.password.autogenerated" are both set to false.

   ldap.import.user.password.default=test
