Created attachment 1204996 [details] Screen shot showing install error message. Description of problem: In RHEL 7.3 Snapshot 3(?) started enforcing a minimal length password that cannot be overridden by selecting "Done" twice like other insecure passwords. Insecure passwords should be treated similarly and allowed if explicitly requested by the installer. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install RHEL 7.3 2.Choose password of 7 characters. 3. Actual results: Cannot force short password. Expected results: Should allow if user selects "Done" twice like other insecure passwords (e.g. like one susceptible to a dictionary attack.) This is what prior versions of anaconda allowed. Additional info: Note, the installed kernel still allows root to assign short passwords.
This is basically 2 issues: - Anaconda requiring passwords to be at least 8 characters long - Anaconda not allowing the override to use weak passwords Both issues should be fixed as of anaconda-21.48.22.93-1, which will most probably be in the next snapshot.
Tested snapshot 5. Issue fixed.
Closing based on comment 3. (Belated) thanks for the feedback.
