<div>Hi guys,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>By checking the status of the patch at [1] by arezmerita, I noticed that it didn’t get any reviews since the last upload on Jan 31th (after a comprehensive round of reviews started on Dec 10th).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>During a chat on #openstack-horizon, jpich noticed that the BP [2] was not targetted, so it didn’t get on the radar for any milestone. The milestone has now been set to Icehouce. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I know that it’s really late for I3, but since the patch has already been reviewed and all the concerns / suggestions have been addressed, I wonder if this could still be considered for merging.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The blueprint addresses a fundamental issue for Windows guests VMs: handling passwords in a secure way. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Password encryption is a feature that is present in Nova since Grizzly (see "nova get-password" [3]), but most users are still using the totally unsafe clear text “admin_pass" option for the</div>
<div>simple reason that the dashboard does not provide a way to manage password decryption.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Ala’s patch provides IMO a proper solution for this issue, so it’d be great if we could have it in Icehouse, whithout having to wait for Juno.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Alessandro</div>

<div>P.S.: Note: I’m not the owner of the patch or the blueprint.</div>
