Hello

I'm using a Centos7 cloud image from built-in ovirt-image-repository and I have some trouble setting an initial password for a given user with cloud-init.

Basically, it doesn't set any password. Other things work: user is created, ssh key is set (both for the user and root) but no password. This is a problem for me because I want to automatically provision the image with Foreman but the ovirt integration works only with password.

The cloud-init logs in the VMs doesn't tell anything about password being or not set.
What's the password format accepted in the GUI? plain text? or salted hash like plain cloud-init config?

Thanks
