Harden VNC Console Passwords

Scenario

• Product: ZCF
• Component: ZStack Cloud
• Version: 5.4.x
• Operating system: H84r
• Deployment: Dual management nodes
• Trigger: VM VNC console passwords require security hardening.

Symptoms

• The environment needs stronger VM VNC console access security.
• Passwords can be set manually in the UI or distributed through a script.
• The change affects host parameters and console passwords only and should not affect existing VM workloads.

Assessment

1. Determine whether passwords will be set manually per VM or with the batch script.
