Re: unpublished parameter for resetpasswordforvirtualmachine

2019-12-13 Thread Riepl, Gregor (SWISS TXT)
Just for my understanding: What is the reason that you need user-defined 
passwords?

Ideally, you shouldn't even need a password at all. Log in using SSH keys 
instead, which *can* be provisioned by users.
Are you deploying Windows VMs, perhaps?

But I suppose you could expose the parameter, then gate the 
generateRandomPassword() call with a check if password is null.

Not sure if this is something that would be accepted in the CloudStack code 
base though...

No. we need to implement user-defined passwords instead of randomly generating 
them. So I went to look up the code.

I see an unopened parameter password on 
https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/blob/master/api/src/main/java/org/apache/cloudstack/api/command/user/vm/ResetVMPasswordCmd.java#L60,



I want to enable the password parameter and let the user pass the user-defined 
password through the API

Is that not what you can see in the GUI when the VM is stopped, assuming you 
created the VM from a password-enabled template?
