Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 5.3.4.2.20150415125246_f5d5c91 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install CloudForms Management Engine 2. Configure a RHEV Provider 3. Potentially many Hypervisors/Hosts will be automatically created. Actual results: Each one requires manual configuration of credentials Requested results: It would be nice if there were a way to configure a default set of credentials for new hosts so that they don't need to be configured manually. Additional info: I was attempting to use mechanize to create the Hosts for the provider with the correct credentials and then configure the Provider, letting the relationship be updated at which time everything works, but I hit https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=944685 After talking to the CloudForms team I was told this isn't really supported and it's a bug that I can create a non-ESXi Host.
My apologies for leaving the description empty. If it's not clear what I am seeing is that we have to manually add the credentials to a potentially large set of discovered hosts. It would be nice if we could provider a set of default credentials for discovered Hosts so they don't require any manual configuration.

Sorry, I just realized my last two updates were not meant for this BZ...
Greg - it sounds like a general issue, and not a rhev one. What am I missing?
@Oved, yeah, I think you're probably correct. In fact, I don't even know how this would be done without a decent amount of general UX help to determine when/how a user would enter default host credentials. I'm removing the rhev whiteboard. I'll ask @johnhardy about the priority of this.
John, is this something we should put on our backlog? If so, where does it sit in priority considering it may be something we'd implement for both RHEV and VMWare. And, also considering I don't know of any customer requests for this type of feature.
Based on comment #7 this isn't RHEV specific. Removing rhev from the whiteboard.
