Is there anyway to set the username and password for a Windows instance in Horizon dashboard? I have read the docs and see away to set it with the nova boot command but I would like to not have to use the nova boot command every single time.

Hello,

Currently there is no direct way of setting the instance password using Horizon. One alternative is to use a keypair when launching an instance and then use nova to retrieve the password:

nova get-password <server> [<private-key>]

where private-key is the path where you have the private key file. This solution works when you have http metadata enabled.

Thanks.

Ok I see that I can retrieve the password for the Windows instance using CLI from the controller but is there away to do this from a remote system that only has the private key of the keypair?
