Discovered that when you try to update an email of a existing user the chef_user blows up with 400 "Bad Request" error. Tried other fields like display_name and hit similar results.

Discovered using combination of cheffish 2.0.2 and chef-client 12.5.1.

This appears to be fixed with chef-client v12.9.41 and chef-server-core v12.6

I don't think this is fix in latest chef-client v12.11.18 and chef-server-core v12.7.

@lamont-granquist I did workaround this issue. The problem is you can not update email, display_name, and/or source_key without passing in the password attribute to chef_user resource. So basically I needed to make some postgres db calls and save hashed_password information of users in opscode_chef table, set the password attribute to passw0rd when using chef_user resource and then restore the old hashed_password for user with postgres db calls. I put guards to ensure chef_user resource didn't trigger unless update email, display_name, and/or source_key has changed.

# create users
node['bb_chef_server_cluster']['manage_rbac']['users'].each do |user, values|
  next if user.eql?('ec_sync_user') || values == false
  ruby_block "save #{user} password info" do
    block do
      rest = setup_rest(url_root)
      if user_exist?(rest, user)
        node.run_state["#{user}_diff"] = diff_user(rest, user, values)
        node.run_state["#{user}_password"] = get_user_password_info(user)
      else
        node.run_state["#{user}_diff"] = true
        node.run_state["#{user}_password"] = nil
      end
    end
    only_if { node.run_state['check_ha_status'] }
  end
  chef_user user do # ~FC022
    display_name values['display_name']
    email values['email']
    password 'passw0rd'
    source_key values['source_key']
    chef_server url_root
    action :create
    only_if { node.run_state["#{user}_diff"] }
    only_if { node.run_state['check_ha_status'] }
    notifies :run, "ruby_block[restore #{user} password info]", :immediately
  end
  ruby_block "restore #{user} password info" do
    block do
      update_user_password(node.run_state["#{user}_password"])
      restored = Chef::Resource::Log.new("restored #{user} password successfully!", run_context)
      restored.level :info
      restored.run_action :write
    end
    action :nothing
    only_if { node.run_state["#{user}_password"] }
    only_if { node.run_state['check_ha_status'] }
  end
end

I guess this issue is related to #83

Okay I think I understand it clearer now.

The RESTfulness of the API is getting into a fight with password hashing. It wants everything updated, but the passwords have been one-way hashed so that you can't GET, , POST.

this is probably the better written ticket than #83
