Re: [ovirt-users] Change password using ovrt api is not working

Hi Juan, The following details i got from the vm after executing the reset password [root@compute4 ~]# cp /var/run/vdsm/payload/22f57477-5d43-4795-95ec-e39ce3ba5423.757249a787c151388f6f3fa3502cf299.img /tmp/my.img [root@compute4 ~]# mount -o loop,ro /tmp/my.img /mnt [root@compute4 ~]# find /mnt /mnt /mnt/openstack /mnt/openstack/latest /mnt/openstack/latest/meta_data.json /mnt/openstack/latest/user_data [root@compute4 ~]# cat /mnt/openstack/latest/user_data #cloud-config ssh_pwauth: true disable_root: 0 output: all: '>> /var/log/cloud-init-output.log' password: shanil chpasswd: expire: false runcmd: - 'sed -i ''/^datasource_list: /d'' /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg; echo ''datasource_list: ["NoCloud", "ConfigDrive"]'' >> /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg' [root@compute4 ~]# The xml which i used for the reset password is <action> <vm> <os> <boot dev='cdrom'/> </os> <initialization> <cloud_init> <users> <user> <user_name>root</user_name> <password><![CDATA[shanil]]></password> </user> </users> </cloud_init> </initialization> </vm> </action> it seems the password is showing in the configuration ( you can see the above log ) but i am unable to login with this new password. Could you please have a look at ?

I tested it in my environment and it works as expected. The only thing that I can imagine failing is the password containing values that break the XML syntax. Try to surround the value with a CDATA section: <password><![CDATA[yourpassword]]></password> This is good practice, even if it isn't the cause of your problem. As usual the first step to debug this is to check if the cloud-init floppy has been generated correctly. Start the VM, go the host where it is running, locate the qemu process and the location of the floppy img: # ps -ef | grep -- '-drive file=/var/run/vdsm/payload/.*\.img' Make a copy of that file, mount and inspect it: # cp /var/run/vdsm/payload/...img /tmp/f.img # mount -o loop,ro /tmp/f.img /mnt # find /mnt # cat /mnt/openstack/latest/user_data # umount /mnt
