[PKG-Openstack-devel] What is default user of image?

[Maiken Pedersen]

Well, the thing is, our cloud provider does not offer Debian 8 images, they pointed me to the link of the image I asked about here, then I create an instance in the OpenStack interface, and later I want to ssh into it. However, can not access it due to not knowing default username and password. 

So yes, maybe the option is to create a new image myself. 

Thanks a lot anyway!

The metadata showing user is not available in my OpenStack instance. Maybe I need to ask the administrators to include it? So, problem is on the my Openstack end?
