NAME

Paws::Lightsail::PasswordData

USAGE

This class represents one of two things:

Arguments in a call to a service

Use the attributes of this class as arguments to methods. You shouldn't make instances of this class. Each attribute should be used as a named argument in the calls that expect this type of object.

As an example, if Att1 is expected to be a Paws::Lightsail::PasswordData object:

  $service_obj->Method(Att1 => { Ciphertext => $value, ..., KeyPairName => $value  });

Results returned from an API call

Use accessors for each attribute. If Att1 is expected to be an Paws::Lightsail::PasswordData object:

  $result = $service_obj->Method(...);
  $result->Att1->Ciphertext

DESCRIPTION

The password data for the Windows Server-based instance, including the ciphertext and the key pair name.

ATTRIBUTES

Ciphertext => Str

The encrypted password. Ciphertext will be an empty string if access to your new instance is not ready yet. When you create an instance, it can take up to 15 minutes for the instance to be ready.

If you use the default key pair ("LightsailDefaultKeyPair"), the decrypted password will be available in the password field.

If you are using a custom key pair, you need to use your own means of decryption.

If you change the Administrator password on the instance, Lightsail will continue to return the original ciphertext value. When accessing the instance using RDP, you need to manually enter the Administrator password after changing it from the default.

KeyPairName => Str

The name of the key pair that you used when creating your instance. If no key pair name was specified when creating the instance, Lightsail uses the default key pair ("LightsailDefaultKeyPair").

If you are using a custom key pair, you need to use your own means of decrypting your password using the "ciphertext". Lightsail creates the ciphertext by encrypting your password with the public key part of this key pair.
