Today user may set/change the guest console password and also its
expiration time through Kimchi API.
When passing an empty password, a random password is automatically
generated.
curl -u <user:password> -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H
"Accept:
application/json"
http://localhost:8010/vms/blah -X PUT -d'{"graphics":
{"passwd": ""}}'
That way is difficult to handle when user wants to reset the guest password.
We have a similar issue when we automatically change the passwdValidTo
when it is expired - increasing it in 30 seconds.
My proposal is simple: only change "passwd" and "passwdValidTo" when
user wants to do it.
curl -u <user:password> -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H
"Accept:
application/json"
http://localhost:8010/vms/blah -X PUT -d'{"graphics":
{"passwd":
"123456", "passwdValidTo": "<some datetime
format>"}}'
curl -u <user:password> -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H
"Accept:
application/json"
http://localhost:8010/vms/blah -X PUT -d'{"graphics":
{"passwdValidTo": "<some datetime format>"}}'
And make sure the passwdValidTo is only acceptable when there is a
passwd set.
And to reset those values, we only need to send an empty string:
curl -u <user:password> -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H
"Accept:
application/json"
http://localhost:8010/vms/blah -X PUT -d'{"graphics":
{"password":
"", "passwdValidTo": ""}}'
And create a new API: POST /vms/blah/ticket to automatically generate a
random password valid only for 30 seconds.
curl -u <user:password> -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H
"Accept:
application/json"
http://localhost:8010/vms/blah/ticket -X POST -d'{}'
What do you think about it?

Or even simpler, let UI create a random password and its expiration time
and use the PUT request to do that changes.
