If you haven’t used the password function note you have to refer to it as password/##/name always. I wish it created a alias for secret/name after the gen
Managed to get my PS script down to this :
$MySecureString = ConvertTo-SecureString -String "<%=cypher.read('password/' + instance.name)%>" -AsPlainText -Force
Get-LocalUser -Name “Administrator” | Set-LocalUser -Password $MySecureString
This seems to do what I want - in my limited testing. Any thoughts on ways to improve it ?
oh I have a typo but if it works great
probably should be ‘password/##’
meaning how long you want the password
Also, once prod probably want to make some sort of naming scheme so you can filter cypher to specific users/tenants but should suffice small scale testing
So the way I have it creates a password 15 chars long eg:
v\Bq#(N8#P=[01|
yeah I think we have a default value if not passed 
Oh sorry to keep spamming reverse your quoting
‘<%=cypher.read(“password/” + instance.name)%>’
If I use the 15 or other number, it includes that in the mountpoint, is that what you mean about wanting it to create an alias ?
Powershell will bark if you get the wrong symbol in the password otherwise
yes it includes in the mountpoint and most people consume cypher at a “secret/” mount point
(and note) I have a long standing feature request to have a decrypt button on the instances and just use the morpheus random password if none provided on Administration > provisioning so campuses and allow users to spin up singular vms and have a password changed
thanks for your help on this. Nice little share for a PoC
sounds like a nice tab plugin Chris Bunge
