Overv opened a new issue #2982: Why are passwords encrypted with the SSH public key?
URL: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/issues/2982
 
 
   This function is used to encrypt and store the VM password, but why is this done with the SSH public key?
   
   https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/blob/3101612ad148d8ad77a931ffec692a9b97757d32/server/src/main/java/com/cloud/vm/UserVmManagerImpl.java#L6360
   
   What is the purpose of this storage and how is it supposed to ever be decrypted?
