<title>Adding Password Management to Your Templates</title>
|
|
<para>&PRODUCT; provides an optional password reset feature that allows users to set a temporary
|
|
admin or root password as well as reset the existing admin or root password from the &PRODUCT;
|
|
UI.</para>
|
|
<para>To enable the Reset Password feature, you will need to download an additional script to
|
|
patch your template. When you later upload the template into &PRODUCT;, you can specify whether
|
|
reset admin/root password feature should be enabled for this template.</para>
|
|
<para>The password management feature works always resets the account password on instance boot.
|
|
The script does an HTTP call to the virtual router to retrieve the account password that should
|
|
be set. As long as the virtual router is accessible the guest will have access to the account
|
|
password that should be used. When the user requests a password reset the management server
|
|
generates and sends a new password to the virtual router for the account. Thus an instance
|
|
reboot is necessary to effect any password changes.</para>
|
|
<para>If the script is unable to contact the virtual router during instance boot it will not set
|
|
the password but boot will continue normally.</para>
