For others who may follow this thread later here's a brief (final?) recap: The createTemplate API creates a template out of a snapshotted volume from an existing VM. The registerTemplate API allows a user to bring in an external template into CloudStack. The registerTemplate API has an optional parameter named sshkeyenabled which is supposed to indicate whether the SSH key reset script is installed on the template. In effect the parameter seems to do nothing and another user already raised a bug about that: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-4720
Calling the deployVirtualMachine API with the desired SSH key which determines whether a virtual machine receives the new SSH key. Of course, the virtual machine must have the SSH key reset script installed. -----Original Message----- From: Harikrishna Patnala [mailto:harikrishna.patn...@citrix.com] Sent: Thursday, July 03, 2014 11:05 AM To: <dev@cloudstack.apache.org> Subject: Re: createTemplate API lacks sshkeyenabled?
