[chef] Creating a user on a UNIX box with an encrypted hash for a password

[ANGELA EBIRIM < >]

Hello everyone,

I'd appreciate some assistance.

I'm trying to create a user on a UNIX box with the following code:-

 user "svc_goagent" do 

   action :create

   comment "go agent"

  uid 1234

   gid 2000

   home "home/svc_goagent"

shell "/bin/bash"

   password  "{"encrypted_data"=>"ro21vM1nle78CTBLSNyr40e2tM9VZiiSfbinDAvwZpKov3r9gokq6jStDeAH\nsyRs\n", "iv"=>"PfWTKqKoc3OxO8WxTnW7Zg==\n", "version"=>1, "cipher"=>"aes-256-cbc"}"

supports :manage_home => true

 end

My problem is when I put this into a recipe and then do a chef run, I get errors that prevent the user from being created. Can someone please tell me what is the code to pass an encrypted hash as a password for a new user?

Thanks

Angela
