Prevent internal authN backend from accepting blank passwords
Passwordless users were never meant to be used this way. Since the EXTERNAL authentication mechanism won't use this backend at all, this is a reasonable safeguard to put in place. [#153435857] (cherry picked from commit bd40475057446c841c9531515d452df532841ec0)
