Description Ondrej Gajdusek 2021-08-02 17:02:22 UTC

Description of problem:
GRUB password is now parametrizable but tied to the value of the password for the root user.
The user should be able to set the bootloader password that is different from the password for the root user.
This may be achieved by an extra field in the Host edit dialog or by host/hostgroup/global parameter.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Satellite 6.10
foreman-2.5.2-1.el7sat.noarch
satellite-6.10.0-0.5.beta.el7sat.noarch

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have a host, set its `encrypt_grub` parameter to `true`.
2. Set a root password for the host, submit changes.
3. Review the Provisioning template and see that rootpw and bootloader passwords match.

Actual results:
Always: rootpw == bootloader password

Expected results:
The user can set a bootloader password that is different from the root password.

Thank you for your interest in Red Hat Satellite. We have evaluated this request, and while we recognize that it is a valid request, we do not expect this to be implemented in the product in the foreseeable future. This is due to other priorities for the product, and not a reflection on the request itself. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this feel free to contact your Red Hat Account Team. Thank you.
