 +Access to Linux instances can be performed via SSH without using a password by employing public key authentication and a keypair deployed via Nova. Windows can use client certificate authentication with WinRM for this objective, as described [[http://www.cloudbase.it/windows-without-passwords-in-openstack/|here]]. This is already supported by Cloudbase-Init and a Nova blueprint for handling certificates in a way similar to keypairs is under development and can be easily supported by Heat. As an alternative, the certificate could be passed in the Nova metadata multipart user_data for compatibility with the existing OpenStack deployments.
