Hello everyone, I am currently making my first steps with cloudstack and therefore stumble into some problems and understanding issues. My first topic is regarding the usage of the Management Server secret key.
As in the official installation guide, this key ist provided for en- and decryption of the databasekey. So this should take place everytime the server / the service is started. However i am facing some trouble in how the key is passed from the administrator to the system. One way of providing the key is via the parameter file and then with an file containg the password in plain text. Which can be dealt with. However the "web" option gives me some headache. When and how is the administrator going to give the password to system? I was looking through the guides and goodle, but sadly i didn't find an proper explanaition. Maybe someone can give me some glimpse or referral to additional sources? With kind regards, Christopher Brown
