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.

Description YunmingYang 2020-07-05 15:41:27 UTC
Description of problem:
If setting a password for a non-root user by checking ''Run unattended installation' in creation dialog, The password will be set for root, not for the non-root user, and there is no such non-root user created in the guest.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
cockpit-machines-222.1-1.el8.noarch
libvirt-dbus-1.3.0-2.module+el8.3.0+6423+e4cb6418.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Login cockpit with a user named 'test', and it is in wheel group.
2. Create a VM with follow parameters:
    Name: test
    Installation Type: URL
    Installation Source: http://download.eng.pek2.redhat.com/released/fedora/F-32/GOLD/Server/x86_64/os/
    Check 'Run unattended installation'
        Profile: Workstation
        Password for test: redh2ra2
    Leave 'Root Password' empty for only creating non-root user which is 'test' in wheel group
3. Create the another VM with follow parameters:
     Name: test1
    Installation Type: URL
    Installation Source: http://download.eng.pek2.redhat.com/released/fedora/F-32/GOLD/Server/x86_64/os/
    Check 'Run unattended installation'
        Profile: Workstation
        Root Password: redh2ra2
        Password for test:ME!@fgty6723

Actual results:
1.After step 2, the 'root' user is created and the password of root is set by the value of 'Password for test:', no 'test' user created in the guest.
2.After step 3, the 'root' user is created and the password of root is set by the value of 'Root Password', no 'test' user created in the guest.

Expected results: 
1.After step 2, the root password will be not set, and a user named test will be created and the password will be set correctly
2.After step 3, the user named test will be created and the password will be set correctly.

Additional info:

Comment 1 Martin Pitt 2020-07-08 19:46:24 UTC
Indeed creating an user account in the VM is broken due to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1855020 . https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/14337 removes the feature for now.

Comment 2 Martin Pitt 2020-07-09 07:51:30 UTC
PR landed, will be in 224.

Comment 5 Xianghua Chen 2020-07-31 08:49:01 UTC
Verified with package:
cockpit-machines-224-1.el8.noarch

Step:
1. Login cockpit with a user named 'test', and it is in wheel group.
2. Create a VM with follow parameters:
    Name: test
    Installation Type: URL
    Installation Source: http://download.eng.pek2.redhat.com/released/fedora/F-32/GOLD/Server/x86_64/os/
    Check 'Run unattended installation'
        Profile: Workstation
        Root Password : redh2ra2

The password for root is correct after the vm is installed, so verified.
For the original steps when report this bug, will check again while the bug1855020 is fixed and creating user account feature is introduced again, thanks.
