Description

The password is not set after the user is created by install program during installing Ranger Policy Admin. The current logic is reasonable if the user exists during installing Ranger Policy Admin. Based on current program logic we can only use the new linx user according to as following methods:
1. Set the new user password manually.
2. Login system using root user. Then use su command to switch the new user.
Obviously, these steps increase the difficulty of the user to use the system and reduce easy-using of the Ranger Policy Admin.
We should automatically set password for the new user after the user was created like db user.
