Account created with empty password cannot request tokens

[Rob T]

http://docs.openstack.org/mitaka/install-guide-rdo/keystone-users.html
Creating the Demo account with an empty password completes successfully. Upon moving to the next page and attempting to request a token, you receive an error:

`No password entered, or found via --os-password or OS_PASSWORD`

Attempting to `export OS_PASSWORD=` also does not work.

Not a documentation bug. Moving to the python-openstackclient for further evaluation.

[Matt Kassawara (ionosphere80)]

Err, python-openstackclient project.

[Steve Martinelli (stevemar)]

I suppose we could error out if the password is empty

[QiangTang (qtang)]

Shall we prevent the user create with the empty password?

[Dean Troyer (dtroyer)]

How is this not a documentation bug? In an install guide, I would assume that the steps are intended to lead to a successful installation. A step that leaves out setting a password which then can not be authenticated is not successful. Whether OSC allows empty passwords or not, in what case is that install guide step successful?

[Steve Martinelli (stevemar)]

The docs are actually OK, they recommend using the password prompt.

-----

$ openstack user create --domain default \
  --password-prompt demo
User Password:
Repeat User Password:

-----

I suppose they prefer this over the --password argument since it's not stored in bash history
