Created redmine issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/24301 from this bug Fix submitted, AFAIK there are no 100% proven workarounds other than creating the user in the UI. https://github.com/theforeman/foreman/pull/6005 It might be possible to create an user in the internal auth source, with an useless password, then update the user's auth source to be external as a workaround. Moving this bug to POST for triage into Satellite 6 since the upstream issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/24301 has been resolved. *** Bug 1627830 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** VERIFIED Version tested: Satellite 6.5 snap 8 # hammer user create --auth-source-id 15 --firstname Tom --lastname Mathew --login tom --mail 'tom' --roles 'View hosts' User [tom] created. ]# hammer -u Tom -p wrong-password host list Unable to authenticate user Tom # hammer -u Tom -p changeme host list ---|------|------------------|------------|----|-----|---------------|--------------|---------------------- ID | NAME | OPERATING SYSTEM | HOST GROUP | IP | MAC | GLOBAL STATUS | CONTENT VIEW | LIFECYCLE ENVIRONMENT ---|------|------------------|------------|----|-----|---------------|--------------|---------------------- User is allowed to create without passing --password if auth source is used and successfully authenticate it from auth source.

Description of problem: When creating a user on satellite 6.3 with hammer having external authentication source LDAP/AD gives an error if password not mentioned while the user gets added if password parameter is mentioned. As the user created will be authenticated with the authentication source password and not by the password provided by us while creating user, iit should not be mandatory to create user with password parameter. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Satellite 6.3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Create user without password parameter: # hammer user create --auth-source-id 3 --firstname Tom --lastname Mathew --login tom123 --mail 'tom' --roles 'Access Insights Viewer,Customized Viewer,Red Hat Access Logs,Tasks Reader,View hosts' Could not create the user: Missing arguments for 'user[password]' 2) Create user with password parameter: # hammer user create --auth-source-id 3 --firstname Tom --lastname Mathew --login tom123 --mail 'tom' --roles 'Access Insights Viewer,Customized Viewer,Red Hat Access Logs,Tasks Reader,View hosts' --password "redhat" User [cmn01] created # hammer user list ---|---------------|------------------|------------------------|-------|---------------------|-------------- ID | LOGIN | NAME | EMAIL | ADMIN | LAST LOGIN | AUTHORIZED BY ---|---------------|------------------|------------------------|-------|---------------------|-------------- 7 | tom123 |Tom Mathew | tom | yes | 2018/02/20 15:21:56 | adserver Actual results: User is not allowed to create without password parameter even when we have specified the external auth source. Expected results: When the user is authenticated with the external authentication source LDAP/AD then while creating a user via hammer the --password parameter should be optional. Additional info:
