Right now it is only used on the guest VMs. The format of the passwords it creates are of the form "random 3-character string with a lowercase character, uppercase character, and a digit" + random n-character string with only lowercase characters". > For whatever reason it was that we use generateRandomPassword() for guest VM root user passwords(maybe more secure?) we should use the same function for system VM root user passwords. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
