Modifying the bosh Director's manifest is not supported. It will be regenerated quite frequently, so any changes you make will be overwritten. However, you can tell Bosh to not generate random passwords here -> https://docs.pivotal.io/pivotalcf/2-2/customizing/vsphere-config.html#security-config

Pivotal *strongly* recommends that you use randomly generated passwords (i.e. the default behavior).

Hi Shanthakumar,

That file is only generated during the deploy and deleted afterward.

If you did manage to make a copy and modify the file it would be overwritten during next deploy anyway.

Kind regards,

Stephen

thanks @Stephen Carter . Do we have any recommended way to modify the properties of the file ?

I'm looking to update the VM's password properties in the file to use generic one rather then auto generated way.

Ya I agree, this is just for testing environment.

But still bosh director password is randomly generated right.do we have option to change it ?

Where can I find the deployment manifest for the release deployment(of ProductTiles) when I deploy using Ops Manager and BOSH director for AWS?

As per the above conversation if you see, the manifest will be generated on the fly and deleted immediately and thats the case for vSphere.. hope that would be applicable for AWS as well.

Correct - @Shanthakumar K . The bosh manifest is only around while Bosh is being deployed, that's regardless of the IaaS. You can get it during the deploy or you can get a sanitized copy from the `/debug/files` endpoint.
