Allow ids on HMC's to not have a usable password.

Currently, we cannot setup an ID we must set a password to it. Recently, we have wanted to enable ID provisioning team to be able to manage ID's on the HMC's. They wish to use private / public key access via SSH exclusively, and as such we would like to 'lock out' password usage. On Linux, we would do this via:
echo "idadmin:*' | /usr/sbin/chpasswd -e
We would welcome this to be enabled via any path, GUI or command line.
