Kenneth,
I am setting the attribute in the same recipe but in an earlier ruby_block. The printLocalAdminPass ruby_block prints the right password :
ruby_block “getLocalAdminPass” do
block do
secret = Chef::EncryptedDataBagItem.load_secret(secret_file_path)
app_local_admin_pass = Chef::EncryptedDataBagItem.load(node[‘databag_name’], “app_local_admin_pass”, secret)
node.default[‘temp_app_pass’] = app_local_admin_pass[“pass”]
end
end
ruby_block “printLocalAdminPass” do
block do
pass = node[‘temp_app_pass’]
puts "------> Local Admin password is : " + pass
end
end
When I manually (in GUI) try to create a user with the same password (“Password#1”) that is set in the above ruby_block, it works fine. I tried removing quotes around it but it does not work.
Thanks
-Kapil

Subject: [chef] Re: Chef User resource Password attribute
This might seem like a stupid question, but
- are you setting that attribute some toher palce?
- are you trying to set it to a password which would meet the password requirements as the warning would give reason to believe it is not?
- Have you trying doing things just as you have them now but removing the quotes around the password attribute call?

I am trying to use Chef User resource to create a user on Windows platform. The password attribute is set like following:
user “TestUser” do
password "#{node[‘temp_pass’]}"
action :create
end
where the ‘node[temp_pass]’ attribute is being set in a prior ruby_block resource. I get following error :
Compiled Resource:
Declared in c:/chef/cache/cookbooks/UserCookbook/recipes/user_creation.rb:86:

user(“TestUser”) do
action [:create]
supports {:manage_home=>false, :non_unique=>false}

username “TestUser"
cookbook_name " UserCookbook"
recipe_name " user_creation”
“ArgumentError: The password does not meet the password policy requirements.Check the minimum password length, password complexity and password history requirements”.
I think the node attribute is not being resolved within the user resource. I wanted to confirm if the password attribute can be set to accept password string from a node attribute. Any idea?
Thanks
