Description Ondrej Gajdusek 2021-08-02 17:02:25 UTC

Description of problem:
The user is unable to protect the bootloader with a password on the RHEL8 system as Satellite does not generate the password in the grub.pbkdf2 format that is required by Anaconda.

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 Centos/RHEL 8 host, set its `encrypt_grub` parameter to `true`.
2. Set a root password for the host, submit changes.
3. Switch the host to the Build state
4. Provision the host

Actual results:
Anaconda reports: An error occurred during reading the kickstart file: GRUB2 encrypted password must be in grub.pbkdf2 format.

Expected results:
Anaconda accepts the password from the kickstart rendered by Satellite and proceeds to the installation.

Is this a regression from Satellite 6.9?

Comment 2 Ondrej Gajdusek 2021-08-06 10:14:10 UTC

It is not a regression from Satellite 6.9.

Upon review of our valid but aging backlog the Satellite Team has concluded that this Bugzilla does not meet the criteria for a resolution in the near term, and are planning to close in a month. This message may be a repeat of a previous update and the bug is again being considered to be closed. If you have any concerns about this, please contact your Red Hat Account team.  Thank you.

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.
