related to 126? : root changing the password for another account always fails the GET validation step

[KeithBierman]

python3 $DHOME/ChangeIdracUserPasswordREDFISH.py -ip $IDRACIP -uroot -p $IDRACPASS -id 10 -np $MAASPASS khb@LB1EDGRACKCON01:~/bin$ ./testchg 10.192.3.54 foobar

• PASS, status code 200 returned for PATCH command to change iDRAC user password for user ID 4
• WARNING, executing GET request to validate using new password for iDRAC user ID 4
• WARNING, iDRAC user "maas" privileges set to None, password is changed but unable to execute GET request due to incorrect privilege level

Where IDRACPASS is the root password, but we're changing the password for slot 10 (some other user). Since we don't provide the username for the second slot ... I think the code where we do the GET to verify the password change can't succeed because it's mixing the login name with the name associated with the slot (I suppose we could do a GET to find the username associated with the slot, and always use that for the verify GET.

Hi @KeithBierman

Script is working correctly but for the string messages printed, i was passing in the wrong value for user ID (string formatting issue). I fixed the issue and uploaded new script.

The script is getting the username for the account ID you want to change the password and using that username to test password change but the user privilege is set to None, GET request will fail which is expected.
