Bug in the new version: 1.15, while provisioning Scaleset it's asking os.profile.admin_password when "disable_password_authentication = true"

[vijayakrishnarg1]

os_profile {
computer_name_prefix = "testcompute"
admin_username = "${var.user["name"]}"
admin_password = ""
}

os_profile_linux_config {
disable_password_authentication = true
ssh_keys {
path = "/home/${var.user["name"]}/.ssh/authorized_keys"
key_data = "${var.user["sshcert"]}"
}
}

Error: azurerm_virtual_machine_scale_set.virtual_machine_scale_set: os_profile.0.admin_password must not be empty

[vijayakrishnarg1]

When we explicitly mention provider version = 1.14 it works.

provider "azurerm" {
subscription_id = "${var.arm_subscription_id}"
client_id = "${var.arm_client_id}"
client_secret = "${var.arm_client_secret}"
tenant_id = "${var.arm_tenant_id}"
version = "1.14"
}

Hi @vijayakrishnarg1,

I have opened a PR #1958 making this property optional for release in 1.16. Until then you I believe you should be able to just put in any password and still have password auth disabled.

hey @vijayakrishnarg1

Just to let you know that this fix has now been released in v1.16 of the AzureRM Provider (here's the full changelog](https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-azurerm/blob/v1.16.0/CHANGELOG.md)). You can upgrade to to this version by specifying it in your provider block:

provider "azurerm" {
  version = "=1.16.0"
}

... and then running terraform init -upgrade :)

Thanks!
