Release Notes:
Bug Fix
Release Notes Summary:
This fixes allows the `attributes` parameter for the `user` resource to accept an array with a single value in AIX. Prior to this fix, an error would be thrown in the if the array only contained one value.

This seems to be a bug specific to AIX. When you pass a single value within the attributes array in a User resource:

user { 'existinguser':

  ensure     => present,

  attributes => ['rlogin=false'],

  home       => '/home/existinguser',

It throws the following error upon applying the change:

"Error: /User[root]: Could not evaluate: undefined methodmap' for "rlogin=false":String"`

The only workaround I have managed is to add another value to the attributes array.
