[6.9.2] VNC password not saving

Steps to recreate

Basic view only

1. Enter VM edit on a VM with VNC already selected as the graphics option
2. Enter password
3. Click update button
4. Enter VM edit

Expected result: VNC password field has value and VNC connection requires password

Actual result: VNC password field is empty and VNC connection does not require password

Advanced view

1. Enter VM edit on a VM with VNC already selected as the graphics option
2. Switch to advanced view
3. Add "passwd" attribute and value to the "graphics" xml element
4. Click update button
5. Enter VM edit

Expected result: VNC password field has value in basic view, "graphics" xml element has "passwd" attribute in advanced view, and VNC connection requires password

Actual result: VNC password field is empty in basic view, "passwd" attribute is removed from graphics xml element in advanced view, and VNC connection does not require password

Additional details

• If I SSH into the server and manually edit the xml to add the "passwd" attribute, it works, but I have to edit anytime I make a change to the VM
• For anyone experiencing this issue, setup a User Script with this command to fix it (replace [YOUR PASSWORD] and [YOUR VM NAME] with their respective values
  • sed -i "s_<graphics type='vnc' port='-1' autoport='yes' websocket='-1'_<graphics type='vnc' port='-1' autoport='yes' websocket='-1' passwd='[YOUR PASSWORD]'_" "/etc/libvirt/qemu/[YOUR VM NAME].xml"
