Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Fred van Zwieten 2015-02-17 07:15:15 UTC 
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
