[Rob Reynolds (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Rob Reynolds commented on PUP-5271   Re: Windows user resource should not manage password unless specified For the reviewer: Create a manifest similar to this: user {'bob': ensure => present, } user {'bob_pwd': ensure => present, password => '@#SAFSawasf123', } user {'bob_managehome': ensure => present, managehome => true, } user {'bob_managehome_pwd': ensure => present, managehome => true, password => '@#SAFSawasf123', } user {'bob_groups': ensure => present, groups => 'Users', } user {'bob_everything': ensure => present, managehome => true, groups => 'Users', } user {'bob_everything_pwd': ensure => present, password => '@#SAFSawasf123', managehome => true, groups => 'Users', } Then create one to remove: user {'bob': ensure => absent, } user {'bob_pwd': ensure => absent, } user {'bob_managehome': ensure => absent, }   user {'bob_managehome_pwd': ensure => absent, } user {'bob_groups': ensure => absent, } user {'bob_everything': ensure => absent, } user {'bob_everything_pwd': ensure => absent, } First ensure that password complexity is disabled and minimum length is 0. Attempt to run that against 3.8.3. Note that everything succeeds except for where managehome => true and there is no password. Run puppet resource user to verify. Now run the removal script. Now turn on password complexity. Leave minimum password length at 0. Try the above again. Note you get new errors when the password is not specified. Note that none of the users without passwords are created. Now turn on a minimum length for the password. Note that the same effect happens. Those users without passwords cannot be created. Now install a package that implements this fix. Work through the above scenarios again. Notice this time when Password Complexity is turned on but minimum length is 0, the users without passwords also get created.
