This is the installer patch that forces the credentials to also be reset. I started on a proper fix (https://github.com/theforeman/puppet-certs/pull/428), but in the interest of time I'm taking this approach now.

And to be clear, you still need root access to do anythng with the password?

Yes. You can verify this:

# ls -l /etc/candlepin/certs/{key,trust}store
-rw-r-----. 1 root tomcat 4687 Oct  3 15:34 /etc/candlepin/certs/keystore
-rw-r-----. 1 root tomcat 4194 Oct  3 15:34 /etc/candlepin/certs/truststore

I also had a mistake in the previous patch. I've now verified it on a nightly box.
