Thom, how does it work in RHEL installs, can you update the password after setting it?

Comment 2 Thom Carlin 2016-02-17 16:20:58 UTC

With RHEL 7.1, after the Root Password is set, YES you can update the password.

Comment 3 John Matthews 2016-02-17 20:00:33 UTC

Thom,

This sounds like a pure anaconda thing and not related to anything with the RHCI installer.

Are you saying that behavior is different with our ISO opposed to the RHEL ISO?

Comment 4 Thom Carlin 2016-02-17 20:09:35 UTC

I will re-verify during installer shortly

Comment 5 Thom Carlin 2016-02-17 20:30:07 UTC

Yes, for RHEL, I tested using the RHEL 7.1 ISO on our RHEVM 3.5 system.  For RHCI and TripleO, I used the TP 2 RC9 ISOs.

RHEL Anaconda allows the root password to change
RHCI/TripleO Anaconda does not.

Could this be tied to the "No user will be created" setting?

Comment 6 Jason Montleon 2016-06-22 13:36:37 UTC

This was most likely due to one ISO being RHEL 7.2 (QCI) and one being 7.1 (OOO). Once we moved to RHEL OSP 8 the ISO was switched to RHEL 7.2.

Comment 7 Tasos Papaioannou 2016-06-23 17:58:24 UTC

Verified on QCI-1.2-RHEL-7-20160621.t.0-QCI and QCIOOO-8.0-RHEL-7-20160617.n.2.
