            Bug ID: 20378
           Summary: OPAC ID and password do not auto-generate for new
                    patron

In ver 3.x when adding a new patron, Koha would insert auto generated ID
(firstname dot lastname) and default password when the record was saved.

In ver 17.11 these fields are no longer auto-populating. 

This means staff have to create a unique user ID, and correctly type a
password, twice, before saving a new patron record, even if the patron does not
want an OPAC login.

We would like the auto-generate feature back, OR at least a system preference
to allow it.

We would also like Koha to pay attention to mandatory fields and not make ID &
password mandatory if not required by preferences.

Related to bug 19908 (password should not be mandatory)

I am not sure if this is related to bug 20027 - not enough info there.
