Issue

• I have defined a global parameter in our organization ("ACME") called: acme_root_password.
• I have modified the provisioning template ("ACME - Satellite Kicketart Default") to use the following code to set the password:-

host_password =@host.params['acme_root_password']

#rootpw --iscrypted <%= root_pass %>
# 
rootpw  <%= host_password %>

• When I preview the template the correct password entry is presented to "rootpw".
• The problem is when defining a new host using a Host Group it fails as it is insisting on having a root password entered.
• How can I define a global parameter that will be used in the defined Host Groups so the original provisioning template line: "rootpw --iscrypted <%= root_pass %>" will continue to work?
