Puppet / Task PUP-10800
Add logonaccount and logonpassword to windows service provider example
Issue Type: Task Task
Assignee: Claire Cadman
Components: Docs
Created: 2020/12/03 9:34 AM
Priority: Normal Normal
Reporter: Josh Cooper

We added support for managing the logon user and password to the windows service provider, but it's not reflected in the documentation for the provider. We should add an example to the description: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/96029b003cfbb5303426cbc110f350a0d4b6af06/lib/puppet/provider/service/windows.rb#L5-L12

service { 'name-of-service':
 
  ensure              => 'running',
 
  enable              => 'true', 
  logonaccount   => 'domain\\user', 
  logonpassword => $password,
 
}

Re: Add logonaccount and logonpassword to windows service provider example

I'll add an example to the end of here: https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/7.0/resources_service.html#service_windows

Maybe something like the following?:

Puppet 7 adds support for managing the logon user and password to the Windows service provider. For example:

service { 'name-of-service':
 
  ensure              => 'running',
 
  enable              => 'true', 
  logonaccount   => 'domain\\user', 
  logonpassword => $password,
 
}

Re: Add logonaccount and logonpassword to windows service provider example

Hi Claire,

The change was added into Puppet 6.17, so please can the notes reflect this? I have it working in Puppet 6.19.

Please can you also detail that logonpassword is a sensitive variable.

Thanks,

Darren
