This topic describes how to configure password confirmation when you create resource
instances.
Background information
When you create a stack, you enter the logon password only once. However, when you
enter the password, it is possible to enter a wrong password and get locked out of
your service instances, such as ECS and ApsaraDB for RDS instances.
Procedure
- When you define
InstancePassword
, set Confirm to true to enable password confirmation.
"InstancePassword": {
"Confirm": true,
"NoEcho": true,
"MaxLength": "41",
"Description": "The login password of ECS instances",
"Type": "String",
"ConstraintDescription": "Consist of 8 to 41 characters of alphanumeric characters",
"MinLength": "8",
"AllowedPattern": "[a-zA-Z0-9]*"
},
Notice Confirm can only be used when NoEcho is set to true.
- Configure Instance Password in the Configure Template Parameters step of the Create Stack wizard.
