Description

The user provider appears to use the -p parameter to useradd, to specify a crypted password to use for the user. On Solaris, -p is used to specify the project the user is associated with, so this fails. There appears to be no alternative way to do this on Solaris, short of editing /etc/shadow. I’d suggest in the short term that this functionality be disabled for Solaris.
