Description

Currently, accounts created by TC2 are created with an unknown random password.

Instead, we should:

see how chsh command behaves if account is created passwordless
if it's not possible to set a password in this scenario, allows to generate one when the account is still passwordless
or if that doesn't work well, output this random password at account creation

dereckson moved this task from Backlog to TC2 on the Dæghrefn board.Jan 12 2017, 04:56

This is still an issue for accounts created with Salt.

Accounts are passwordless and with SSH key authentication, so:

no chsh
no console login for ops to troubleshoot from BMC if not set before

Any idea how to best do this?

Removing TC2 as not used anymore for accounts creation.
