Bug #10915: The "provider can not handle attribute" error is misleading
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/10915#change-68549

Author: Michael Bryant
Status: Merged - Pending Release
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Andrew  Parker
Category: provider
Target version: 2.7.20
Affected Puppet version: 2.7.6
Keywords: AIX user provider puppet password
Branch: https://github.com/djmitche/puppet/tree/dont-mask-errors


<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'
                        }
