Currently, RHEL qemu-guest-agent is not related to win-ga component. There's no possibility to fix it now. This issue is handle with BZ 1303906.

Comment 19 Xueqiang Wei 2016-09-06 10:01:33 UTC

for crypted is false, the test is passed.
for crypted is true, the test is failed, return message "Unsupported".

the details as below:
host: kernel-3.10.0-500.el7.x86_64
      qemu-kvm-rhev-2.6.0-22.el7
guest: win10
       qemu-ga-win-7.3.2-1

some logs:

set password: redhat

{"execute":"guest-set-user-password","arguments":{"crypted":false,"username":"Administrator","password":"cmVkaGF0"}}
{"return": {}}

then reboot guest, login using the new password successfully


{"execute":"guest-set-user-password","arguments":{"crypted":true,"username":"Administrator","password":"SExHVVNmUTJoRjVXZw=="}}
{"error": {"desc": "{ 'class': 'Unsupported', 'data': {} }"}}

windows doesn't support crypt()d passwords, as indicated by the error message.

Comment 21 Xueqiang Wei 2016-09-07 02:45:32 UTC

According to Comment 19 and Comment 20, change the status to VERIFIED.
