auth: don't break hashing in case of user with empty password. In some cases such as LDAP user created via external scripts users might set the passwords to empty. The hashing uses the md5(password_hash) to store reference to detect password changes and forbid using the same password. In case of pure LDAP users this is not valid, and we shouldn't raise Errors in such case. This change makes it work for empty passwords now.

==========================
Specification by Example
==========================
.. Avoid duplicating the quickstart instructions by importing the README
file.
Choices of technology and tools
===============================
`nix` as runtime environment
----------------------------
We settled to use the `nix` tools to provide us the needed environment for
running the tests.
`Gherkins` as specification language
------------------------------------
To specify by example, we settled on Gherkins as the semi-formal specification
language.
`py.test` as a runner
---------------------
After experimenting with `behave` and `py.test` our choice was `pytest-bdd`
because it allows us to use our existing knowledge about `py.test` and avoids
that we have to learn another tool.
Concepts
========
The logic is structured around the design pattern of "page objects". The
documentation of `python-selemium` contains a few more details about this
pattern.
Page Objects
------------
We introduce an abstraction class for every page which we have to interact with
in order to validate the specifications.
The implementation for the page objects is inside of the module
:mod:`page_objects`. The class :class:`page_objects.base.BasePage` should be
used as a base for all page object implementations.
Locators

The specific information how to locate an element inside of the DOM tree of a

The reason for keeping the locators separate is that we expect a frequent need

efficient to have all of thelocators together and update them there instead of
having to find every locator inside of the logic of a page object.
