Note that during engine installation, we will first be asked to use default credentials, and if so, the prompt for a password will never show. It will be visible if the provider is installed during an engine-setup update run, or if use of default credentials is not chosen.	Story Points:	---

Description Michael Burman 2017-05-04 14:18:18 UTC

Description of problem:
[OVN] - oVirt OVN provider password can't be empty.

If choosing to install the ovirt-provider-ovn packages, the default authentication password is 'empty', but it can't be empty, as engine will not accept it and connection to the provider will fail:

code 403, message Forbidden
May 04 16:55:25 mburman-4-test-rpms.scl.lab.tlv.redhat.com python[26103]: 127.0.0.1 - - [04/May/2017 16:55:25] "GET /v2.0/ HTTP/1.1" 403 -

'Test' will fail as engine not accepting empty password for authentication.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.2.0-0.0.master.20170503135127.git43302b6.el7.centos


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run engine-setup on master version and choose to install ovirt-provider-ovn
oVirt OVN provider user[admin]: 
oVirt OVN provider password[empty]:

2. Choose default admin and password(empty)
3. Finish engine-setup and go the the webadmin and test the ovn-provider

Actual results:
No connection to the provider, authentication has failed with empty password

Expected results:
User should configure password for authentication when running engine-setup and the default shouldn't be empty.

Comment 1 Dan Kenigsberg 2017-05-06 22:19:34 UTC

There should be no default, then.

Comment 2 Mor 2017-06-05 07:43:27 UTC

During fresh install, we intended to take the password of admin@internal as the default password for ovirt-provider-ovn.

But if too complex, we can avoid this, and force the user to retype the password on upgrade and on fresh install.

Comment 3 Marcin Mirecki 2017-06-09 08:07:54 UTC

Password is not mandatory.
note that we do not ask for it if using default credentials

Comment 4 Mor 2017-06-15 09:10:37 UTC

Verified on 4.2.0-0.0.master.20170612192318.gitf773263.el7.centos
