Blesta not properly creating pterodactyl login credentials

[WaffleThief123]

Hey Blesta team, I've been working on getting everything set up correctly in my environment and all seems correct. I do have one issue though, it appears that Blesta, upon account creation and server provisioning in Pterodactly, does not create a password for the Pterodactyl User. Below is a db query against pterodactyl users for my "test" account. The user is created, but with a seemingly random (hashed) password that does not match the originally created password. The original password is 'Password' and works to log into blesta but does not function as a login into Pterodactyl.

So it does appear that account creation on Pterodactyl via blesta is half-broken. Please advise on a fix.

Hey, according to what i know it should be like that. The password is not the same as on the blesta nor the username. But think it would have been better if it was the same.

You want us to use the Blesta password for the Pterodactyl account? The password is hashed, we would have no way of getting it to send it to Pterodactyl.

You can edit the pterodactyl_service.php module file to not generate a password. Pterodactyl will send an email asking the user to create their own. This is how the WHMCS module handles it.

[JReissmueller]

If we did that then we wouldn't be able to save and display the password in Blesta. Which we currently do when you click on the service row in the services widget on the client profile.

How are you passing that information to the client? There isn't a password tag, do you provide instructions in the Welcome email?

[JReissmueller]

The password itself is not available to the welcome email https://dev.blesta.com/browse/CORE-3659. But you certainly could include instruction for finding it in the welcome email.

A password tag would be a major improvement. cPanel and DirectAdmin modules make it easy to provide login information in the welcome email. The password copied from Blesta adds a lot of spaces to the end and makes it seem invalid.
