This patch supports checking guestinfo.ovfEnv for a key if it does not exist directly in guestinfo.key.
I do not have time to test this right now, so I suggest others validate it if they would like to see this merged sooner rather than later.
I did do this much testing though:
Example OVF Envelope
This type of data can be obtained from
vmware-rpctool 'info-get guestinfo.ovfEnv'
Parse the
userdata
field from the OVF envelopeThe above Python script will print the
userdata
property from the OVF data. Please note the line endings are munged, so it may be worth encoding the data prior to pasting it into the OVF data. For example:Then just ensure the userdata is base64 encoded before adding it to the OVF, and this will ensure the data is decoded properly.
