Text mode will now prompt for a passphrase if a Kickstart file does not provide one while enabling encryption
Prior to this update, if you used the text mode interface with a Kickstart file that enabled disk encryption but did not provide a passphrase, the installation failed with an error. This update prompts the user to provide a passphrase during installation if the partitioning specified in the provided Kickstart file requires one.

(In reply to Samantha N. Bueno from comment #2) > Please attach logs to this bug as individual, text/plain attachments. They > can be found in /tmp. I have attached logs of a kickstarted text installation of RHEL 7.4 on a virtual machine using the following kickstart partitioning scheme: - # System bootloader configuration. bootloader --location=mbr --boot-drive=vda clearpart --all --initlabel --drives=vda zerombr # Disk partitioning information. part /home --fstype=ext4 --size=2048 --encrypted part /boot --fstype=ext4 --size=512 part swap --size=1000 part / --fstype=ext4 --grow --size=200 - The error I get in Anaconda is: "LUKS device vda2 has no encryption key" If I provide a blank --passphrase flag Anaconda dies with the error: "The following problem occurred on line 40 of the kickstart file: --passphrase option requires an argument" I am experiencing this issue as well. I am using a plaintext passphrase right now, but this is very undesirable as the config is stored on our PXE install server and then shows up in original-ks.cfg in /root. Are there plans to implement an encrypted passphrase such as it is done with the root password? I noticed some discussion here years back but haven't found info on the current state of that as of today with centOS 7. Fixed in a pull request: https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/1468 Verified with anaconda-21.48.22.143-2.el7. Anaconda running in text mode asks for the encryption password. Tested the autopart, part and pv kickstart commands. Also retested cmdline and graphical installations for possible regressions - no change comparing to RHEL-7.5 GA was found. Moving to VERIFIED.
