Description

ISSUE TYPE
  • Bug Report
SUMMARY

When running multiple times the installer, the admin password is always reset. If I have changed the password from the web, after running the installer, the password is reset to the default.

ENVIRONMENT
  • AWX version: 4.0.0
  • AWX install method: kubernetes (microk8s)
  • Ansible version: ansible 2.7.10
  • Operating System: Ubuntu 18.04 x64
  • Web Browser: Firefox 66
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
  • Run the installer
  • Change the admin password from the web UI
  • Run the installer again (for an upgrade, testing, etc)
EXPECTED RESULTS

Keep the password changed in the web UI.

ACTUAL RESULTS

The password is reset with the one in the inventory.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the installer script to find where the admin password is set. Determine if there is a condition that checks if the password has already been changed. Implement a check to skip resetting the password if it has been previously modified.
