Description Tomas Jelinek 2020-09-16 11:47:58 UTC

Description of problem:
If you use the "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.2 Update KVM Guest Image" from https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/479/ver=/rhel---8/8.2/x86_64/product-software
the cloud-init does not set the password. I have tried to use the one described in here: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/4985001
e.g. 
#cloud-config
user: admin
password: q1w2e3
chpasswd: {expire: False}
ssh_pwauth: True

and that did work. Im not sure what exactly fixed it from it, but the one which is in the common-templates today does not work and the one I have pasted does.

@Tomas, can you please confirm which user id were you trying to login with in Rhel 8.2?

Comment 2 Tomas Jelinek 2020-09-21 09:37:39 UTC

all I could think of :) I have tried the same username as the password is, I have tried "root" and "default" etc. But I believe the username and password was supposed to be the same.

Looking at the RHEL docs it seems that default user would be `cloud-user`
Can you please verify this again on the same image?
I tried to check this but the cluster seemed to have some issue.

Comment 4 Vatsal Parekh 2020-09-23 09:14:02 UTC

A UX improvement here would be to specify the default cloud-user usernames in the cloud-init of the default templates
PR doing that: https://github.com/kubevirt/common-templates/pull/224

Thank you!

Verify with:
HCO:  hyperconverged-cluster-operator-container-v2.5.0-42 
RHEL: user is cloud-user
Fedora: user is fedora
