Using alternative credentials
Each time a container is created Fabric stores the credentials used to create the container and will reuse them for all life cycle operations (start, stop, delete). If the credentials have changed, the updated credentials need to be specified as options. Each container type (child, ssh, jclouds) uses different kind of credentials, as follows:
- Child containers: Use the JMX credentials of the parent container.
- SSH containers: Use the SSH credentials of the target host.
- JClouds containers: Use the ssh credentials of the instance.
For example:
fabric:container-start --user NewJmxUserOfParent --password NewJmxPasswordOfParent child1 fabric:container-start --password NewSshPasswordOfTargetHost ssh1 fabric:container-start --password NewSshPasswordOfTargetHost cloud1
