Problem Description: The lockdown installer wants password for root, the cfuser and the apache user. By default on RHEL (Ubuntu, and probably most distros) the apache user does not have a password assigned, it is configured as a system account. Further on many systems the root account does not have a password assigned. The lockdown installer should not force administrators to set passwords for these accounts. It should allow
Steps to Reproduce: Setup a RHEL 7.5 server then run the lockdown installer.
Actual Result: It will prompt for root, apache and cfuser passwords and does not accept empty string.
Expected Result: Since the installer is to be run as root, it should already have the necessary permission to impersonate each of the user accounts and it can execute commands using runuser or su to do so.
Any Workarounds: You can type in a fake password and it will let you past the prompt but that will probably cause an issue if it tries to roll back the installation.Attachments:
