Doc Text:	Previously, certain Packstack parameters (for example, passwords) were not updated in the answer file when they automatically changed internally. As a result, the answer file did not reflect what was actually set up. With this update, Packstack makes sure all the automatic changes are saved back to the answer file, so the runs are reproducible. As a result, the installed state matches the values stored in the answer file.	Story Points:	---

Description Javier Peña 2015-10-09 11:24:42 UTC

Description of problem:
When running "packstack --answer-file file.txt", some parameters may change, and those changes are not stored anywhere. This can create issues, because passwords can be seen in the answer file as "PW_PLACEHOLDER", when they are actually different.

This makes subsequent runs with the same answer file be non reproducible, and can lead to unexpected issues.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. packstack --gen-answer-file=test.txt
2. Edit answer file, set CONFIG_AMQP_BACKEND=qpid and CONFIG_AMQP_ENABLE_SSL=y
3. packstack --answer-file=test.txt

Actual results:
At the end of the installation, the NSS certdb password will be unknown, while the answer file option is "PW_PLACEHOLDER".

Expected results:
Updated parameters should be stored.
