Can't set user password

[Martin Supiot]

Hi!

I try to set a user password. I do :

vagrant@db:~$ sudo puppet apply -e "user { 'martin': name => 'martin', ensure => 'present', password => '$6$salt$RheJLXa4oI89Bob98PelI2w1l7.StNxtasDd0hBJbGUrSahnzsSf3rZ8.CoT9CoTNd/6qyaieI7lunITBZaRP1'}"
Notice: Compiled catalog for db in environment production in 0.06 seconds
Notice: /Stage[main]/Main/User[martin]/password: changed password
Notice: Finished catalog run in 0.06 seconds
vagrant@db:~$ su martin
Password:
su: Authentication failure

I can't authenticate. If I check the password, I see it truncated ...

vagrant@db:~$ sudo cat /etc/shadow |grep ^martin
martin:.StNxtasDd0hBJbGUrSahnzsSf3rZ8.CoT9CoTNd/6qyaieI7lunITBZaRP1:16225:0:99999:7:::

If I try to change it in cli, it's ok

vagrant@db:~$ passwd martin
passwd: You may not view or modify password information for martin.
vagrant@db:~$ sudo passwd martin
Enter new UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: password updated successfully
vagrant@db:~$ sudo cat /etc/shadow |grep ^martin
martin:$6$iH/04P.R$oPNMDpgNrS2glZLrBdoo15w76Z77DK9ywcyllrgakcDg32GKUjyfRGTfHcNvd8rNpOC2b.C3p9xssF9mwN7iI/:16225:0:99999:7:::

I can connect !

vagrant@db:~$ su martin
Password:
martin@db:/home/vagrant$ exit

I'm on a ubuntu 14.04 with ruby-shadows package installed. Any idea ?

Thanks

Hi,

Put the user declaration in a file, or use ' instead of " ( then you'll have to escape all ' )

The problem is that you are using ", so the shell is interpreting $6 and $salt as empty variables.

Regards
