Issue #12833 has been updated by Ben Ford.
My client this week will be hit by this when we try to manage users tomorrow. I'm going to attempt to backport this tonight.... ---------------------------------------- Bug #12833: Password property for User type is broke in OS X 10.8 https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/12833#change-79165 Author: Gary Larizza Status: Merged - Pending Release Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: OSX Target version: 3.0.2 Affected Puppet version: Keywords: password user mac mountain lion os x Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/1306 Setting users passwords is broke in 10.8 due to the fact that Apple moved to PBKDF2 passwords in 10.8: <pre> Garys-Mac:~ glarizza$ sudo puppet resource user glarizza Password: /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/puppet/provider/nameservice/directoryservice.rb:379:in `get_password': undefined method `string' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError) from /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/puppet/provider/nameservice/directoryservice.rb:199:in `generate_attribute_hash' from /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/puppet/provider/nameservice/directoryservice.rb:235:in `single_report' from /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/puppet/provider/nameservice/directoryservice.rb:76:in `instances' from /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/puppet/provider/nameservice/directoryservice.rb:75:in `collect' from /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/puppet/provider/nameservice/directoryservice.rb:75:in `instances' from /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/puppet/type.rb:889:in `instances' from /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/puppet/type.rb:882:in `collect' from /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/puppet/type.rb:882:in `instances' from /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/puppet/indirector/resource/ral.rb:4:in `find' from /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/puppet/indirector/indirection.rb:196:in `find' from /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/puppet/application/resource.rb:222:in `find_or_save_resources' from /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/puppet/application/resource.rb:144:in `main' from /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/puppet/application.rb:317:in `run_command' from /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/puppet/application.rb:309:in `run' from /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/puppet/application.rb:413:in `hook' from /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/puppet/application.rb:309:in `run' from /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/puppet/application.rb:404:in `exit_on_fail' from /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/puppet/application.rb:309:in `run' from /Library/Ruby/Site/1.8/puppet/util/command_line.rb:69:in `execute' from /usr/bin/puppet:4 </pre> It's from this code (line 379 in lib/puppet/provider/nameservice/directoryservice.rb): <pre> password_hash = converted_hash_plist['SALTED-SHA512'].string.unpack("H*")[0] </pre> So, I'm trying to update Puppet to be able to handle/change the user's password in 10.8 and I notice that the methodology I need to access/generate/change it has changed from 10.7 to 10.8. Since our product uses Ruby, I'll be displaying the steps in Ruby. In 10.7 I used this methodology to access the password: <pre> require 'facter/util/plist' users_plist = Plist::parse_xml(`plutil -convert xml1 -o /dev/stdout /var/db/dslocal/nodes/Default/users/brit_xml.plist`) password_hash_plist = users_plist['ShadowHashData'][0].string IO.popen('plutil -convert xml1 -o - -', mode='r+') do |io| io.write password_hash_plist io.close_write @converted_plist = io.read end converted_hash_plist = Plist::parse_xml(@converted_plist) password_hash = converted_hash_plist['SALTED-SHA512'].string.unpack("H*")[0] puts password_hash </pre> This is all well and good since the value of converted_hash_plist['SALTED-SHA512'] was a StringIO object containing the binary version of the salted sha512 password. In 10.8, all of the steps are the same up to a point - it seems the value of converted_hash_plist is different: <pre> >> pp converted_hash_plist {"SALTED-SHA512-PBKDF2"=> {"salt"=>#<StringIO:0x10f31e498>, "entropy"=>#<StringIO:0x10f31e998>, "iterations"=>15174}} => nil </pre> Indeed, this looks like a 128 byte PBKDF2 password (since the value of converted_hash_plist['SALTED-SHA512-PBKDF2']['entropy'].string.unpack('H*').first is 256 characters). This makes sense since it looks like Apple has dabbled in PBKDF2 before http://people.cis.ksu.edu/~sakthi/src/data/filevault_sakthi.pdf. Ruby does have a PBKDF2 gem (https://github.com/emerose/pbkdf2-ruby), but of course there's no built-in method to handle passwords in this fashion.
