Issue #15037 has been updated by Nigel Kersten.

Assignee changed from Rob Sweet to eric sorenson

No apologies needed Rob, I was arguing against Patrick's decision to accept it 
:)

I worry about how this would make the model inconsistent.

Right now, if you set a property/parameter on a resource, that means the 
resource will change.

This proposed idea would break that model, and I'm not sure the cost is worth 
it.

I'd be *more* in favor of a generic solution, rather than one for just the 
password, but it still concerns me.


Eric? Your thoughts?

Feature #15037: ability to set initial user password
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/15037#change-71744

Keywords: 
Branch: 


Add functionality to the *user* type so one can set an initial password to be 
set upon account creation. Currently when puppet is managing a users password, 
if said password is changed puppet will reset it to whatever value has been 
configured.

This is a rehash of http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/2046
