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

[Shanil S]

Hi Juan,

The following details i got from the vm after executing the reset password

[root at compute4 ~]# cp
/var/run/vdsm/payload/22f57477-5d43-4795-95ec-e39ce3ba5423.757249a787c151388f6f3fa3502cf299.img
/tmp/my.img
[root at compute4 ~]# mount -o loop,ro /tmp/my.img /mnt
[root at compute4 ~]# find /mnt
/mnt
/mnt/openstack
/mnt/openstack/latest
/mnt/openstack/latest/meta_data.json
/mnt/openstack/latest/user_data
[root at 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 at 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 ?
