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

it should be plaintext
did you want to configure root or some other user?
once the guest is booted you can get the settings from the attached cdrom in that vm, just
mount it and check what does it configure exactly

As some other user. And after fiddling a while (thanks for the cdrom
tip!), I
discovered that the password setting works only with the root
user. As a proof, here it is the user_data created with a "centos" user,
password "centos" specified:
#cloud-config
output:
all: '>> /var/log/cloud-init-output.log'
disable_root: 0
runcmd:
- 'sed -i ''/^datasource_list: /d'' /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg; echo
''datasource_list:
["NoCloud", "ConfigDrive"]'' >>
/etc/cloud/cloud.cfg'
timezone: Europe/Warsaw
ssh_pwauth: true
chpasswd:
expire: false
user: centos
package_upgrade: true
and here it is the same file setting a password "centos" for the user root:
#cloud-config
output:
all: '>> /var/log/cloud-init-output.log'
password: centos
disable_root: 0
runcmd:
- 'sed -i ''/^datasource_list: /d'' /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg; echo
''datasource_list:
["NoCloud", "ConfigDrive"]'' >>
/etc/cloud/cloud.cfg'
timezone: Europe/Warsaw
ssh_pwauth: true
chpasswd:
expire: false
user: root
Maybe I didn't discover anything new but I wasn't able to find any
documentation about this before.
