      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      The description of when a password is required for the attribute monpassword for the oracle resource-agent is confusing. 

       

      # pcs resource describe ocf:heartbeat:oracle | grep monpassword -A 5
        monpassword
          Description: Password for the monitoring user. Make sure that the password
              for this user does not expire. Need to explicitly set a password to a
              new monitor user for the security reason.
          Type: string
          Default: OCFMON

       

       

      The description was changed with the following commit: Increase the security of monitor user in oracle by nick-wang · Pull Request #1472 · ClusterLabs/resource-agents · GitHub

       

      We should change the description to clearly describe when a password is required for the attribute monpassword for the oracle resource-agent. For example, we could change the description to be something like the following:

       

      Description: Password for the monitoring user. Make sure that the password for this user does not expire. A password is required if the  "monitor user"  does not exist and will be created by the resource-agent when the resource-agent starts to avoid using a default password (for security reason).

       

      What is the impact of this issue to you?

      The description is confusing for Red Hat customers.

      Please provide the package NVR for which the bug is seen:

      resource-agents-4.10.0-52.el9_4.4.x86_64

      How reproducible is this bug?

      Everytime

      Steps to reproduce

      # pcs resource describe ocf:heartbeat:oracle | grep monpassword -A 5

      Expected results

      Make the description of when a password is required for monpassword for oracle resource-agent clear.

      Actual results

      The description of when a password is required for the attribute monpassword for the oracle resource-agent is confusing.
