Got an exception:
Unable to deploy VM as template 203 is password enabled, but there is no support for UserData service in the default network

The template have a default user/password so I do not want a new password

Hey @weizhouapache , this is actually a feature I had wanted before , because of testing. I never got around entering it. So we want to not provision a password on a password enabled template at times (deploy-time-switch or such.

Though I read from your message, you want it automatically; i.e. check for user data support in the network.

I consider it a new feature or at least an improvement.

my opinion is

• if the template is password-enabled and network supports Userdata, automatically generate a new password
• otherwise, do not generate new password automatically. for example
  • template is not password-enabled
  • network (e.g. a L2 network) does not support Userdata . Currently this throws an exception
