Re: Cloudstack instances - Reset VM password

[David Jumani]

Hi Hean,

Cloudstack uses cloud-set-guest-password to reset the password
http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/4.11.1.0/adminguide/templates/_password.html#adding-password-management-to-templates

Configuring cloud-init for Cloudstack can be found over here

Re: cloudstack reset VM password files

Hello, FYI.
Our engineer managed to solve the problem for the password reset with bare
cloud-init and Ubuntu 16.04.
Confirm, it works, however it seems it uses hacks Yordan is talking about:

RE: cloudstack reset VM password files

[Yordan Kostov]

Hey Rene and Ivan,

During tests my setup was utilizing Rene scripts:
- 99_CloudStack.cfg script successfully makes cloud-init to use Cloudstack data.
- 80_root.cfg script was preventing  cloud_init to start during boot (missing 
parameters error message) so I removed it and used the default config.cfg 
instead.
 
Regarding the password change I figured it out - the password script is 
made to be run once per instance. The data about the password setup is kept by 
/var/lib/cloud/instances//sem/config_set_passwords file.  If 
you delete this file the next boot will fetch the ACD password but it will 
apply it for the user that has been set in cloud-init config file.

Possible workarounds:
- ugly - make sure the file is deleted after boot with the custom script 
cloud-init option.
- clean - change the password script execution frequency per boot instead of 
per instance. Unfortunately I could not find the file that defines the 
frequency for the datasource file 
(/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cloudinit/sources/DataSourceCloudStack.py). 

Best regards,
Jordan

Rene, thank you for your confirmation that it works. I'll check it again, but

Re: cloudstack reset VM password files

[Rene Moser]

Hi again

Seems no one seems to read my stuff.

cloud-init is able to reset the password (similar the scripts), see
https://github.com/cloud-init/cloud-init/blob/master/cloudinit/sources/DataSourceCloudStack.py#L45


WE USE IT! IT REALLY WORKS.

Note that it uses the default user, e.g. for CentOS it is centos. That
is why we configure the default user.

Look at the conifgs I wrote in the first mail.

Re: cloudstack reset VM password files

[Rafael Weingärtner]

Hey guys, I do not know how cloud-init is supposed to work regarding
passwords, but I recall having similar issues with SSH keys. After having a
key deployed, cloud-init would not update the key, if it was changed in
ACS/OpenStack (it has been almost two years that I tested this, so I am not
sure if this still persists). After reaching out the community
(cloud-init), I discovered that it was designed this way, and to change it
would require some work Cloud-init (not just ACS/OpenStack modules).

RE: cloudstack reset VM password files

Ivan,

I can verify that deleting /run/cloud-init does not make the VM get another 
root password on the next boot (after changing it from ACD gui). Thank you for 
the info, if I make it work I will let you know.

RE: cloudstack reset VM password files

[Yordan Kostov]

Hello Ivan,

Currently working on cloud-init (for Centos 7.5) and how it can be used 
without the Cloudstack default scripts. I tried deleting the /run/cloud-init 
folder but the password is not changed. Is there any other place that should be 
edited/removed  ?

Best regards,
Jordan

Re: cloudstack reset VM password files

[Alvarez Fernando]

Hello Ivan,


We use the scripts cloud-set-guest-password (first password and reset password) 
and cloud-set-guest-sshkey (use sshkey user) in Debian 8, Debian 9, Centos 6 - 
RHEL6 and Centos 7 - RHEL 7 and works fine!.

if you need them I can give them to you.

You must put this 2 files in /etc/init.d in Debian and /etc/rc.d/init.d in 
Centos/RHEL.
For other template initialization tasks we use cloud-init and works well too.

Regards,
Fernando.

Hello, colleagues.

Can cloud-init reset password as well? AFAIK initially it runs once for the
password, root volume resizes, keys which is fine for initial deployment,
but is not good for resetting the credentials.

Good stuff (btw I have been using old password init and MSI installer for
win2016 and it works just fine for me).

Cloudinit also supports automatic resize of root partitions/filesystem on boot 
(usefull when you deploy VM from small template but choose to make root disk 
bigger during vm creation).

Re: cloudstack reset VM password files

[Andrija Panic]

Good stuff (btw I have been using old password init and MSI installer for
win2016 and it works just fine for me).

Cloudinit also supports automatic resize of root partitions/filesystem on
boot (usefull when you deploy VM from small template but choose to make
root disk bigger during vm creation).

Cheers
Andrija

Re: cloudstack reset VM password files

[simon.voelker]

Hi,

I can also highly recommend cloud-init. We use it for our templates as well. 
There is also a Windows analogue of it (https://cloudbase.it/cloudbase-init/) 
that I recently used to finally get password functionality to work properly on 
Windows Server 2016.

Hi

Nowadays the cloud-init [1] project supports cloudstack out of the box and we 
switched our templates to only use cloud-init.

Unfortunately the docs regarding cloudstack is not that great (it is on my list 
to give back my finding). There are some great docs here 
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cloud-init.

Our config under config dir /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/ has two files

- 80_root.cfg
- 99_cloudstack.cfg

80_root.cfg contents is...

system_info:
 default_user:
   name: root
disable_root: 0
ssh_pwauth: 1

...and 99_cloudstack.cfg looks like...

datasource:
 CloudStack: {}
 None: {}
datasource_list:
 - CloudStack

Note that cloud-init has a ton of great features beside the support of 
cloudstack.

Hope that helps

cloudstack reset VM password files

[Yordan Kostov]

Dear all,

Recently I boggled down into building a template and while 
browsing through the docs I noticed that most of it has not been updated for 
some time.

http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/4.11.1.0/adminguide/templates.html#adding-password-management-to-your-templates

Here are the findings on which I made my opinion:

-  Linux OS

o   "Download the script file cloud-set-guest-password" is pointing towards a 
4.2 repo that is dead link.

o   While deploying I found out that cloud-set-guest-password script was 
missing the DHCLIENT path for NetworkManager which meant the script will not 
work for Centos 7.



-  Windows OS

o   The link pointing for the CloudInstanceManager.msi instance works but says 
it is obsolete.

o   Sys prep docs cover Windows 2003 and Windows 2008 only. 
(http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/4.11.1.0/adminguide/templates.html#creating-a-windows-template)
 what about 2016 and 2019?



I do not mind editing that docs section but could you please point to what 
should be considered the current (up to date) solution for both platforms?

Thank you!

Best regards,
Jordan Kostov

Hi Gian,


I think you may have run into an old bug (that in this case is in your favour). 
I seem to recall that sometime around the 4.2/4.3 release time frame, volumes 
were not being expunged correctly.
