Hi Markos, I’ve been working with libcloud with vCloud 5.5. I found that I need to make a few changes to support v5.5 including patches to the VM script handling. I’ve put these here:
https://github.com/cedadev/libcloud/blob/trunk/libcloud/compute/drivers/vcloud.py The changes are pretty much complete but I haven’t submitted a pull request yet. We have successfully tested passing shell scripts through the ex_vm_script keyword e.g. setting up an ssh key for an account on a Linux VM. I’ve not really looked at the admin password feature so can’t really comment on that.
