Save user-password-encrypted VM passwords to VM tags #3

Closed bwsw closed 7 years ago

bwsw commented 7 years ago

Allow to save in VM attribute PASSWORD encrypted with user authentication password VM password which can be seen somehow if a user enters his password. It also must allow regenerating all VM encrypted passwords when user changes the password. The important note for the feature is it's optional way, so user must be able to enable or disable it for a certain VM upon creation. The system must remember the last choice in the local storage.

I see two use cases for the feature:

  1. Users often forget administrative passwords to their VMs and this feature can simplify their life greately without additional security flaws.
  2. If we implement deployment tools integrated they would probably need authentication information to manage deployments. So, this is the second case.

E.g. use: https://keybase.io/triplesec/
