Chefserver 12: problem backing up/restoring users #43

Closed Marjorie-Cecile closed 9 years ago

Marjorie-Cecile commented 9 years ago

when I export a user I get a file like this: { "name":"", "public_key":"-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----\nxxx\n-----END PUBLIC KEY-----\n\n", "admin":false } the value for the name is always empty and it looks like ChefServer12 uses username instead of name which also prevents the restore.

Upon further review I think this issue is related to this chef-server issue

@Marjorie-Cecile: I looked into this issue more thoroughly and came to the conclusion that migrating users from Open Source Chef 11 to Chef 12 is not possible. On the topic of backup and restore in a Chef Server 12, we need to look into this a bit more. One of the obstacles is that you need to be pivotal user.

For now there is no support for users for Chef Server 12.

@Marjorie-Cecile: we are not supporting users going forward. Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention.
