Issue #10915 has been updated by Josh Cooper.
Status changed from Unreviewed to Investigating
Hi Michael, I think the assumption is that `lsuser` returns attributes, some of
which are managed directly by puppet, e.g. `id`, and others are not, e.g.
`account_locked`. I believe the `attribute_mapping` array is only used for
attributes that appear as output from `lsuser`, can be managed via `chuser`,
and that are of the former case above, e.g. `id`. However, the `password`
property is managed using a different command (`chpasswd`), and so doesn't need
to be in the `attribute_mapping` array. However, if the output of `lsuser`
includes the password, then it could cause problems, but I don't think it would
cause this problem (no `password=` method on the provider).
Could you try adding a debug lines like the following to
`lib/puppet/property.rb` and run puppet with `--trace`:
<pre>
def call_provider(value)
if value == 'password'
puts provider.class
puts provider.methods.grep /password/
end
provider.send(self.class.name.to_s + "=" + value)
</pre>

Bug #10915: Managing passwords under AIX doesn't work
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/10915
Author: Michael Bryant
Status: Investigating
Priority: Normal
Assignee:
Category: provider
Target version:
Affected Puppet version: 2.7.6
Keywords: AIX user provider puppet password
Branch:
<pre>
err: /Stage[main]/Root_user/User[root]/password: change from [old password hash
redacted] to [new password hash redacted]
failed: The aix provider can not handle attribute password at
/etc/puppet/modules/root_user/manifests/init.pp:35
</pre>
A cursory look at the source shows that the aix user provider has the feature
manages_passwords, but doesn't have the password attribute listed as being
managed
config:
user { "root":
ensure => "present",
uid => "0",
gid => "system",
comment => "Super-User",
home => "/",
shell => "/usr/bin/ksh",
password => 'REDACTED'
}
