When creating a new zone, the host password field should not be required when an SSH key is being used #6499
Description
ISSUE TYPE
- Improvement Request
COMPONENT NAME
Zone creation
CLOUDSTACK VERSION
4.16
4.17
CONFIGURATION
Applies to both basic networking and advanced networking
OS / ENVIRONMENT
N/A
SUMMARY
A feature was added in version 4.16 that allows the use of an SSH key instead of a password when adding a host. See #5684.
This is obvious when adding a host to an existing zone because there's a setting to use an SSH key instead of a password. The UI doesn't show a setting like this when a new zone is being created.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Create a new zone, using either basic or advanced networking.
EXPECTED RESULTS
The UI should allow the user to select to use the system SSH key instead of a password, just it does when you're adding a new host to an existing zone.
ACTUAL RESULTS
When creating a new zone, the screen that asks for host information requires a password. You can enter a garbage string in this field and it will use the SSH key, but that's not obvious to the user.
