Puppet / Bug PUP-11067
Specifying purge_ssh_keys parameter for non-existing user errors out
Issue Type: Bug Bug
Assignee: Unassigned
Created: 2021/05/15 5:16 AM
Priority: Normal Normal
Reporter: Valters Jansons

Puppet Version: 7.6.1
Puppet Server Version: N/A - reproducible via local puppet apply
OS Name/Version: Ubuntu 20.04 (LTS "Focal")

A user resource, with purge_ssh_keys parameter provided as either true or as an array of paths results in a "Failed to apply catalog" error, if the user account does not previously exist.

$ puppet apply -e 'user { "test123": ensure => present, purge_ssh_keys => true, }' --noop

Desired Behavior:

User account is created, with SSH keys as provided.
SSH key purging for user is enforced following creation.

Actual Behavior:

Notice: Compiled catalog for host.example.com in environment production in 0.02 seconds
 
Error: Parameter purge_ssh_keys failed on User[test123]: Munging failed for value true in class purge_ssh_keys: user test123 doesn't exist (line: 1)

Re: Specifying purge_ssh_keys parameter for non-existing user errors out

Appears to be caused by b424130, which fixed PUP-10506.

If home parameter is skipped, Dir.home("test123") is invoked under the hood. This works well for existing accounts, however if the user account does not exist, it causes an ArgumentError "user test123 doesn't exist".

At first glance, it appears purge_ssh_keys properly handles missing files, so the home should be able to default to some safe value during initial creation (would /dev/null fallback cause issues?).
