## Prerequisites

* The private key corresponding to the public key, used to create a compute instance, is required

* Only RSA PKCS #1 v1.5 is supported by OpenStack

## TLS options

* `OS_CACERT` - environment variable with a path to custom CA certificate.

* `OS_INSECURE` - skip endpoint TLS certificate validation. Set to `true` **only if you are otherwise convinced of the OpenStack endpoint's authenticity**.

## Windows

```sh

.\openrc.ps1

.\nova-password.exe --private-key-path C:\Users\user\key.pem my-server

# or

.\nova-password.exe 717433dc-4c2e-4d62-9467-6dd3715b2c6c server-name

# or

.\nova-password.exe my-server -i C:\Users\user\.ssh\putty.ppk
