I have a similar question about the password resetting. I download the cloud-set-guest-password for linux and put it on my centos guest vm.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/cloudstack/files/Password%20Management%20Scripts/ # cp cloud-set-guest-password /etc/init.d/ # chmod +x /etc/init.d/cloud-set-guest-password # chkconfig --add cloud-set-guest-password But it doen't take effect. The tool for windows guest vm can work well. ------------------ Original ------------------ From: "Geoff Higginbottom"<geoff.higginbot...@shapeblue.com>; Date: Fri, Jun 28, 2013 06:32 PM To: "users@cloudstack.apache.org"<users@cloudstack.apache.org>; Subject: RE: Cloudstack password enabled template Asmita, Are you adding the Password Reset Script to your Templates, if so then each time you create a new VM it will get a randomly generated password. I believe you can then also use the getVMPassword API call to query the existing password, although I have not tested this new 4.1 API command yet.

I am using deployVirtualMachine api to create virtual machine from templates that I have configured in cloudstack. When VM is deployed I want to get username and password of the VM to login to that VM instance. Also I want to generate random password everytime new VM is created using the same template. Can anyone help me with that? Regards, Asmita. This email and any attachments to it may be confidential and are intended solely for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed.
