Hi Tommy, Try generating a new key-pair using the api, createSSHKeyPair. And then use the key-pair name you supplied for createSSHKeyPair as the value for parameter keypair while deploying the VM. Hope it helps.

I tried to set keypair when deploying a vm, but it returns error message : A key pair with name 'my-generated-string' was not found. Am i supposed to do something first for this ssh keypair ? (i try supplying "ssh keypair" value with my auto-generated-string. Sorry for the noob question, i'm a newbie in the cloud computing environment :) ________________________________________ From: Alena Prokharchyk [alena.prokharc...@citrix.com] Sent: Monday, July 30, 2012 11:35 PM To: cloudstack-dev@incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: Fail to get password for VM using API On 7/29/12 9:31 PM, "Tommy Aditya Lawanto" <to...@wowrack.com<mailto:to...@wowrack.com>> wrote: >I'm getting this error when i try to get password from a vm using >password-enabled template (through API) : > > > [error] => No password for VM with id '70' found. > > >I've tried resetting the password using management server, and it works >fine.

So only in this case you can use getVMPassword api to retrieve the password. I'll make sure the documentation is updated for this command in the future release. In your case, if you forgot the password returned to you on the confirmation box, you can always reset it using resetPasswordForVirtualMachine API -Alena.
