Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 814778
password change after setting password with adminpw is not persisted
Last modified: 2016-04-26 11:20:28 EDT
Description of problem: when installing rhevh using adminpw=<encrypted passwd>, you're prompted to reset the password on first login. The new password should be persisted. It's currently not persisted resulting in a need to change every reboot Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 6.3-20120419.0 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.install rhevh using autoinstall and adminpw=<hashed_password> (e.g. password1) 2.on next reboot, login as admin, reset password (e.g. password2) 3.reboot again Actual results: login with password2 fails login with password1 succeeds but requires another password change Expected results: login with password2 is successful Additional info: Regression due to changes for adding libvirt-cim support
Workaround -- autoinstall using adminpw login and change password once on the TUI, change password again through the security tab.
http://gerrit.ovirt.org/3749 Testing: install rhevh with adminpw=<hashed1> after reboot, login as admin and change to password2 when forced to change reboot login as admin using password2
verified with rhevh-6.3-20120426.2: 1. auto install with adminpw 2. login can change the password. 3. reboot 4. login with the changed password successfully

code existed in previous versions, but bug was never noticed previously. It was a racy issue, so it might have existed, but never shown itself previously.
