Description John Matthews 2015-08-27 20:27:37 UTC

Description of problem:

RHCI needs the ability to change the CFME admin user's password during a deployment.  

We'd like to be able to interact with a REST API to alter the admin user's password.

Can you please provide verification steps?

Comment 4 Taras Lehinevych 2015-11-03 13:09:14 UTC

Verified fixed in version 5.5.0.8

Verification step: 
1. Get admin user via rest api
2. Send query with new password
3. Try to login in cfme with new password

You can run code in ipython:

from cfme.login import login
from cfme import Credential
from cfme.configure.access_control import User
from fixtures.pytest_store import store

rest_api = store.current_appliance.rest_api
admin_user = rest_api.collections.users.find_by(userid='admin')[0]
new_password = 'test'
admin_user.action.edit(password=new_password)

# This part could be done manually
cred = Credential(principal=admin_user.userid, secret=new_password)
new_user = User(credential=cred)
login(new_user)
