Description Lee Yarwood 2021-04-23 11:46:45 UTC 
This bug was initially created as a copy of Bug #1952854

Description of problem:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1661871 and https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/0ee02e0117527b86a31b2a88a14994ce7f15571f changed the return type of the read_file libguestfs API within their python bindings from a string to bytes.

As a result any attempt to inject an admin password fails with the resulting error being ignored by Nova.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
>= OSP 16.0

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to set an admin password with something like:
$ openstack server create --image fedora32 --flavor m1.medium --password redhat --network private test

Actual results:
Instance spawns correctly but password isn't set.

Expected results:
Instance spawns with password correctly set.
