Title: Message Title

Sean Millichamp created an issue   Puppet / PUP-7761 New users with null passwords not created correctly Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: PUP 4.10.4 Assignee: Unassigned Components: Types and Providers Created: 2017/07/07 5:50 AM Environment: Platforms using the useradd and libuser providers. Priority: Minor Reporter: Sean Millichamp When using Puppet in a Beaker acceptance test to configure a user with a null password (in order to later test to ensure that null passwords would not be permitted to authenticate) I discovered a bug in Puppet when creating users with null passwords. Given a manifest like: user { 'testuser': password => '' } It requires two Puppet runs to obtain the desired state. This is due to https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/master/lib/puppet/provider/user/useradd.rb#L164 where properties with empty strings are not included.
