Installing the One-Click Password Reset Plug-In

Scenarios

You are advised to install the password reset plug-in CloudResetPwdAgent before creating a private image. In this way, you can reset the password of ECSs created from the image by a few clicks.

ECSs created from a public image have this plug-in installed by default.
For ECSs created from an external image file, install the plug-in by performing the operations in this section.

Precautions

You can decide whether to install the CloudResetPwdAgent plug-in.
The plug-in has been open-sourced in GitHub according to GNU General Public License V2.0.
Not all OSs support the one-click password reset plug-in. Table 1 lists the OSs that support this plug-in.

For CentOS 8, disable SELinux before you install the one-click password reset plug-in. After the plug-in is installed, you can enable SELinux if necessary.

Prerequisites

The ECS status is Running.
The ECS must have a remaining space of more than 300 MB, and data can be written to its root directory.
SELinux affects the password reset plug-in of Linux ECSs. Disable SELinux by referring to Disabling SELinux.
ECSs created using a SUSE 11 SP4 image must have 4 GB or a larger memory.
DHCP must be enabled for the VPC used by the ECS.
Networks of the ECS are normal.
The outbound security group rule of the ECS must meet the following requirements:
- Protocol: TCP
- Port Range: 80
- Remote End: 169.254.0.0/16
If you use the default outbound security group rule, preceding requirements can be met, and the ECS can be initialized. The default outbound security group rule is as follows:
- Protocol: All
- Port Range: All
- Remote End: 0.0.0.0/16

Procedure

Check whether the one-click password reset plug-in has been installed on the ECS.
1. Log in to the ECS as user root.
2. Check whether CloudResetPwdAgent has been installed:
  ls -lh /Cloud*
  
  Figure 1 Checking whether the plug-in has been installed
  
  Check whether the obtained information is similar to that shown in Figure 1.
  - If yes, the plug-in has been installed.
  - If no, the plug-in has not been installed. Perform the following steps to install it.
Download CloudResetPwdAgent.zip and verify its integrity by referring to Obtaining the One-Click Password Reset Plug-in (Linux).

There is no special requirement for the directory that stores CloudResetPwdAgent.zip.
Run the command below to decompress CloudResetPwdAgent.zip.

The package can be decompressed to any directory.

unzip -o -d decompressed-directory CloudResetPwdAgent.zip

For example:

If the plug-in is decompressed to /home/linux/test, run the following command:

unzip -o -d /home/linux/test CloudResetPwdAgent.zip
Install the one-click password reset plug-in.
1. Run the following command to open the CloudResetPwdAgent.Linux file:
  cd CloudResetPwdAgent/CloudResetPwdAgent.Linux
2. Run the following command to add the execute permission for the setup.sh file:
  chmod +x setup.sh
3. Run the following command to install the plug-in:
  sudo sh setup.sh
  If "cloudResetPwdAgent install successfully." is displayed and "Failed to start service cloudResetPwdAgent" is not displayed, the installation is successful.
  You can also check whether the plug-in has been installed using the methods provided in 1.
  
  If the installation failed, check whether the installation environment meets the requirements and install the plug-in again.
Modify the file permissions of the password reset plug-in.

chmod 700 /CloudrResetPwdAgent/bin/cloudResetPwdAgent.script

chmod 700 /CloudrResetPwdAgent/bin/wrapper

chmod 600 /CloudrResetPwdAgent/lib/*
