[SIMONE COLOMBO (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

SIMONE COLOMBO created an issue   Puppet / PUP-5015 Some of the user attributes in Aix could be UPPERCASE Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: PUP 3.7.4 Assignee: Unassigned Components: Modules Created: 2015/08/10 5:07 AM Priority: Minor Reporter: SIMONE COLOMBO Aix user attributes should maintain the original casing. We where experiencing a strange behavior with some users configured with Kerberos authentication. Having Krb configured for a user implies setting its "SYSTEM" attribute to a value of "KRB5Afiles". In hiera this was the (redacted) definition of one such users: xxxxx: ensure: present comment: XXXXXX gid: 'xxxxx' groups: - ssh_grp managehome: 'true' attributes: - SYSTEM=KRB5Afiles - registry=KRB5Afiles - auth_domain=DOMAIN.AD home: "%{::default_home}/xxxxx" shell: "%{::default_shell}" uid: 'xxxxx' And this is the (redacted) output from "lsuser -c xxxxx": #name:id:pgrp:groups:home:shell:gecos:login:su:rlogin:daemon:admin:sugroups:tpath:ttys:expires:auth1:auth2:umask:registry:SYSTEM:loginretries:pwdwarntime:account_locked:minage:maxage:maxexpired:minalpha:minother:mindiff:maxrepeats:minlen:histexpire:histsize:auth_domain:fsize:cpu:data:stack:core:rss:nofiles:stack_hard:time_last_login:tty_last_login:host_last_login:unsuccessful_login_count xxxxx:xxxxx:adm_nix:adm_nix,ssh_grp:/home/xxxxx:/usr/bin/bash:XXXXX:true:true:true:true:false:ALL:nosak:ALL:0:SYSTEM:NONE:22:KRB5Afiles:KRB5Afiles:0:0:false:0:0:-1:0:0:0:8:0:0:0:DOMAIN.AD:-1:-1:-1:-1:-1:-1:-1:-1:1435654795:/dev/pts/4:10.X.X.X:0 Running puppet resulted in the users always been updated, at every run, because the "SYSTEM" (UPCASE string) field from lsuser command was converted to a ":system" (downcase symbol) property. This caused a mismatch between the expected attribute keys and what was parsed from _lsuser_output, causing the provider to think the user was missing one of the managed attributes at each run.
