Description Fred van Zwieten 2015-02-17 02:15:15 EST

Description of problem:
It is not possible to either see if a hostgroup holds a root password or to clear a root password. I have come several times in a situation where people could not log in using the root password and then it is next to impossible to troubleshoot this problem because it is not clear nor known what host groups hold root passwords.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set a root password on a hostgroup
2. Try to determine from the UI is a root password is set on the hostgroup
3. Try to clear the root password in the UI

Actual results:
Not possible to detect if a root password is present on a hostgroup
Not possible to clear a root password on a hostgroup

Expected results:
Possibility to detect if a root password is present on a hostgroup
Possibility to clear a root password on a hostgroup
