Hi @f1-outsourcing
If you use an external authentication system I would say it is best to keep both username and password outside cosmo database. That's the best way in my opinion. Cheers,
How should the binding than be between external authentication and mariadb? There are some relationships that depend on this user table not?
Strictly related to this issue, you could an UUID as password since you are not going to use it anyway instead of making the password field accepting null values.
Yes but that would be less conventional/logical. I think the best option would be to allow the password field to stay NULL, then it is most clear the user is different, probably external auth. Now I am doing something with random passwords which is strange also.
I was wondering if it would not be better to allow the password to be set to null if one is using an external authentication provider. Would it not be more logical not to store a password?
