Clone of Windows VM - avoid clear text password of domain registration

When you use the "Clone, windows with single NIC" in my scheme, it takes a junction station password field.  How can I change this to a SecureString or avoid saving the password of a user in the field in clear text in the workflow?  The goal is to automate the deployment of the VM, setting the variable in the input parameter is not an option.

Just call this workflow in an another workflow that uses SecureString. You can link to string SecureString - you will get validation warning, but not of error if the workflow will run very well. It is the approach that I took. You can then store the password as a SecureString as an attribute of the Configuration element and that map to your custom workflow.

  • Creating a key for ssl connection without the clear text password

    I followed the link below to activate the SSL protocol.

    http://www.gemstone.com/docs/HTML/GemFire/6.0.0/SystemAdministratorsGuide/security.6.33.html

    As metnioned on this link, it is risky to specifying the truststorepassword and keystorepassword in plain text. It is advisable to use PKCS, but when I generate a PKCS key, he asks me again for keystorepassword.  For authentication, where I authenticator, it can still work as I can generate key and password that I can later set in:

    Security-cipherpass-filepath

    Security-cipherkey-filepath

    But how to configure SSL communication to use the files encrypted?

    It's your choice how store and protect your security credentials. In the case of ssh, for example, which stores the credentials in a file .ssh in the home folder of the user, the credentials are protected using the appropriate file permissions: private keys must have read and write permissions set for the owner (600) only, and the public key are allowed to be readable by everyone. You can also use the file permissions to protect your credentials instead of encrypt.

    In addition, in GemFire 7.0 all security-* properties can be stored in a separate file, called gfsecurity.properties, which can then be protected using file permissions.

    Hello

    Try to connect using the built-in Administrator account. If your normal login screen is a display of the user symbol and hit ctrl-alt-del twice to get to login to text entry. Type administrator as the user name and try a blank password.

    Once logged in as administrator, you should be able to change the passwords for any account.
