Hi,

This parameter is set to true in nova.conf . :

enable_instance_password=true

It all depends on how you have setup your cloud. Most/many OpenStack clouds DO NOT inject into the instance and the password feature is null and void.

Look at:

enable_instance_password = True

(BoolOpt) Enables returning of the instance password by the relevant server API calls such as create, rebuild or rescue, If the hypervisor does not support password injection then the password returned will not be correct


http://docs.openstack.org/liberty/config-reference/content/list-of-compute-config-options.html (or whatever version of the docs that related to your cloud particulars.)

Hi,

I’m trying to use nova get-password command.

My centos-1  (using the “standard” CentOS OpenStack image) is running  find and I’m able to log via ssh   by using centos user and a key pair.
But, the following command returns a blank line:


[root at dhcp-10-128-11-58 tmp]# nova get-password d4d50c07-cb2b-4be8-839f-149c09cd6365  /tmp/demo_key_pair_2.pem

Did I misunderstand something or should I get the centos password ?

Thx for help.
