Hello,
I'm still puzzled by why this is not working on your system. The following
works for me on a Centos7 machine:
user { 'testuser':
ensure => 'present',
password => pw_hash('password', 'SHA-512', 'mysalt'),
}

Subject: Re: [Puppet Users] Managing a local users password with puppet on EL7
So, I set the password manually with passwd and got an entirely different hash
than when I use the pw_hash function. The salt is obviously different as well,
but the rest of /etc/shadow entry is the same. ssh user@localhost works with
the password when I set manually with passwd, and does not work with pw_hash -
not surprisingly.
I tried lowercase sha-512, and got the same hash as with uppercase SHA-512.
Both methods (working manual passwd, and non working pw_hash) start with $6$
which implies a sha-512 hash from the docs, so I think pw_hash is just broken
for EL7. Which means the user resource is broken.
I guess temporarily, I'll just set the hash as a string and generate it with
passwd, and see if that works - but it's obviously not ideal.
