Creating CKS Cluster on 4.20 fails when using strong password settings #11626
Description
Activity
this seems to be a real issue
when CKS create kubeadm user for account or project, it just uses the password generated by
UUID.randomUUID().toString()which contains only number, letter and hyphen (
-)same issue 4.19.3
Setting the password policy to non-default password length also ends in an error when creating a cks cluster. In my case i tested it with a min length of 12.

can you change to 8 and retry ?
it seems to be a bug@jgotteswinter
did you create CKS cluster in project or not ?Yes, this was tested inside a project which belongs to a domain admin. As a temporary workaround i modified the domains password policy to a length of 8 and no enforcement of special characters. After that i was able to create a cks cluster successfully.

problem
We are using password settings which require 2 special characters. So far we had no problems, but when i started testing cks it seems like this password policy also applies to the cks clusters.
