What is the Ubuntu 12.04 LTS image password?

I installed it as a node of Ubuntu maas with cobbler. It retrieved packages over Internet and installed it. I have just ssh public key, but I do not have password or other credentials. Can I obtain it from somewhere else?

Your SSH key should be used for access. The SSH keys that you've set in MAAS will all be put on the newly installed node, in the ubuntu user account. You should be able to get into the machine with:

ssh ubuntu@${address-of-node}

Then use sudo to do things as root, as usual, though I don't think it'll prompt you for a password.

  • The problem still exists. My MAAS have two users and two public keys are added in webUI. After installation, ssh ubuntu@node-address prompts for password. It seems these two public keys are not in authorized_keys in /.ssh/. Any comments? – m_smith Jul 07 '12 at 12:12
  • The result after installation is something like this: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS client-image ttyl client-image login: ec2: ec2: ############################# ec2: BEGIN SSH HOST KEY FINGERPRINTS ec2: 1024 98:....:11 root@client-image (DS A) ec2: 256 7a:.....:2f root@client-image (ECD SA) ec2: 2048 B....:16:2b root@client-image (RS A) ec2: END SSH HOST KEY FINGERPRINTS ec2: ###################### BEGIN SSH HOST KEY KEYS ecdsa-sha2-nistp256 AAAAE2VjZ....450= root@client-image ssh-rsa AAAA.......Ur3Hc5ToJZ root@client-image END SSH HOST KEY KEYS – m_smith Jul 07 '12 at 12:17
  • A work around for my case: boot the node with Ubuntu live and mount the disk. Then edit .ssh specially authorized_keys file of root and ubuntu user as you want. :D – m_smith Jul 10 '12 at 18:43
  • It may be worth noting that the node's status must be "Allocated to ". That is, you'll need to Start the node. If it's just "Ready", MAAS doesn't know whose SSH key should be authorized. – mpontillo Feb 10 '15 at 18:16

Same here with root user. What's the point in using MAAS if after install you have live cd to install your keys?

edit As a workaround I set a password for the ubuntu user in this path:

/var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/maas.preseed

d-i passwd/user-password-crypted password <MY-CRYPTED-PASSWORD>

After logging in /home/ubuntu/.ssh/authorized_keys, was empty.
