Issue #10915 has been updated by Michael Bryant.
Hmm, it would seem the code change from #11200 fixes this too. Could certainly benefit from better error reporting in this instance though - perhaps the exception catching for NoMethodError is too general, since it was hiding the underlying error from inside the method? ---------------------------------------- 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' } -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
