RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 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 "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". 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 "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-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.

Can't set simple password for normal usr after finishing rhel7.4 installation

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL-7.4-20170426.4-Server-x86_64-dvd1.iso


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Try to install rhel7.4  in virt-manager
Create new virtual machine-> choose "Local install media"-> select "RHEL-7.4-20170426.4-Server-x86_64-dvd1.iso" in iso image -> set CPU ,memory and disk size size as default > change guest name as "rhel7.4-0426"->finish

2.Select ""Install RHEL7.4....."-> continue->I want to proceed->choose "automatic partitioning selected"

3.Select "SOFTWARE SELECTION"-> GUI install->begian installation-> set simple password "redhat" for root but do not create normal user> reboot the guest after finishing os installation

4.Guest will boot into normal user setting after first rebooting,default setting for normal user until set password for normal user, but can't set simple password for normal usr, the next can't be clicked unless setting two Mix upppercase + two lowercase +number in password option, pls refer to screenshot1


Actual results:
As above description

Expected results:
Can set simple password for normal usr after finishing rhel7.4 installation

Additional info:
1.Can't reproduce the problem on rhel7.3, so it is a regression bug
2.At step3,select "SOFTWARE SELECTION"-> GUI install->begian installation-> set simple password "redhat" for root and create normal user, could set simple password for normal user
3.After step4,log into guest with root account, open system tool-> users->add user->add user name-> also need to input complex password for normal user, pls refer to screenshot2

This piece at least sounds like an entirely different bug since it deals with a completely separate application to add a user.

The first/main issue of this bug looks like a gnome-initial-setup issue though, so I'm moving it over to them.
Comment 5 Rui Matos 2017-05-12 17:01:03 UTC 
I changed 7.4's g-i-s password validation to work like anaconda's user password policy.
Comment 8 Bill Sanford 2017-06-14 18:15:09 UTC 
If you have a password that is less than 8 characters, fails the dictionary test or fails basic password minimums, GNOME will let you set a password.

Verified with gnome-initial-setup-3.22.1-4.el7
