How to create ssh user other than 'vagrant'.

[Anil J]

Hi,

Vagrant uses the default user as 'vagrant' and use the same when we do .vagrant ssh'. I want to use a custom user say 'ubuntu' and have it used when I do 'vagrant ssh'. Is it possible and how? 

I tried specify the same by specifying 'config.ssh.username' and 'config.ssh.password' in my Vagrantfile, but that did not help. I understand that I have to first create the user and then use it in Vagrantfile (ref: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22643177/ssh-onto-vagrant-box-with-different-username); however, this sounds like I have to create this when Vagrant creates and provisions the VM and then (re)run 'vagrant provision' or reload? Is that correct? Or do we specify the user creation it in the VM provisioning shell script?

when you run vagrant up

vagrant requires

either:

a user and a pass to connect and configure the vm

a known ssh key to connect

if you create your vm, you can create a different user and include a Vagrantfile with the information to ssh in, ie config.ssh.username = mynewuser
