Hello, I am playing with OpenNebula 6.2 and I have problem with PASSWORD field in attached context.sh iso file.

It doesnt contain password, but instead it only VAR. This causes, that user account is not created resp. created with wrong password.

```auto
...
PASSWORD='$PASSWORD'
SSH_PUBLIC_KEY=' *******'
TARGET='hda'
USERNAME='kristian'
...

```

We are looking into it here: [Unreliable CONTEXT/PASSWORD encryption in VM/template · Issue #5559 · OpenNebula/one · GitHub](https://github.com/OpenNebula/one/issues/5559) Maybe it is related to user\_inputs.
