Hi Boris,



Thank you for your prompt response.

As a matter of clarification, I did not manage the key pairs in web interface or through command line.
It launches the instance without any key pair. Also I am not trying to login into VM’s floating-ip via ssh.
I am trying to access an Instance Console using the Dashboard.

Option 1.
[BD]  Then you may to start VM with "--user-data" :-

[root at dfw02 ~(keystone_admin)]$  nova boot --flavor 2 --user-data=./myfile.txt
--image 03c9ad20-b0a3-4b71-aa08-2728ecb66210 VF20Devs

  where

[root at dfw02 ~(keystone_admin)]$  cat ./myfile.txt
#cloud-config
password: mysecret
chpasswd: { expire: False }
ssh_pwauth: True


This way will allow you login via ssh and dashboard with password "secret"
No ssh keypairs are supposed to be created

It shows me the login prompt. But I am not able to log in to the instance’s console
(Dashboard) using username (root) and password (root). it says “Log in incorrect”.

Option 2.
[BD]  Please,  read and follow ( I am sending this to you second time )

1) create key-pair via nova CLI  or dashboard
2) Launch instance dialog is providing an entry line "Key pair" . Place  oskey01 there ( click on "+"  in Mitaka )
    Thus it would write RSA public key to  ~fedora/.ssh/authorized_keys on VM's file system ( when you boot VM the first time )
 3) oskey01.pem would be located in folder where you ran `nova keypair-add oske01 > oskey01.pem`
      Content of pem file is RSA private key from keypair generated by nova CLI
 4) Login to VM via SSH  :-
     ssh -i oskey01.pem fedora at VM's floating-ip ( no password needed )
     Then inside VM :-
     $ sudo su -
     no password required fedora is a special user setup via cloud-init
As root assign password to fedora and root ( for instance )
Switch to dashboard and log into VNC console to VM . Created password are persistent for VM


Regards,

Chinmaya

# passwd fedora

You will get login prompt for fedora via dashboard console

in the same session ( or for root, it doesn't matter )

When you run :-


# source  keystonerc_demo

# nova  keypair-add oskey01 > oskey01.pem

# chmod 600 *.pem

SSH RSA public key gets uploaded to Nova and may be used when you launch the VM

It would be written by default to ~fedora/.ssh/authorized_keys ( as far as I remember ) on your VM

when it comes to ACTIVE state


# nova keypair-list

shows this public rsa key been generated by nova command.


SSH RSA private key gets written to oskey01.pem

No hackery is needed to connect to VM via it's FIP

$ ssh -i oskey01.pem fedora at VM's floating-ip

Boris.

Hi All,

I have installed OpenStack (i.e., openstack-mitaka release) on CentOS7.2 .  Used Fedora20 qcow2 cloud image for creating a VM using Dashboard.

1)      Installed “libguestfs” on Nova compute node.

2)      Updated these lines in  “/etc/nova/nova.conf ”
inject_password=true
inject_key=true
inject_partition=-1


3)      Restarted nove-compute: # service openstack-nova-compute restart

4)      Enabled setting root password in /usr/share/openstack-dashboard/openstack_dashboard/local/local_settings.py
OPENSTACK_HYPERVISOR_FEATURES = {
…..
‘can_set_password’: True,
}

5)      Placed the below code in “Customization Script” section of the Launch Instance dialog box in OpenStack.

#cloud-config
ssh_pwauth: True
chpasswd:
  list: |
     root: root
  expire: False
runcmd:
- [ sh, -c, echo "=========hello world'=========" ]


It appears that, when the instance was launched, cloud-init did not change the password for root user, and I was not able to log in to the instance’s console (Dashboard) using username (root) and password (root). it says “Log in incorrect”.

Upon checking the boot log found that, cloud-init has executed /var/lib/cloud/instance/scripts/runcmd and printed hello world. Can anyone please let me know where I am wrong ? Thanks in advance for your support and time.



Regards,

Chinmaya
