glusterfs_native: cannot connect via SSH using password authentication to multiple gluster clusters with different passwords.

[Ramana Raja]

glusterfs_native driver picks a volume from among different Gluster clusters and serves it as a share. The host node running Manila services connects via SSH to remote Gluster clusters. There's a config option, 'glusterfs_native_server_password', provided to connect to a remote server by password based authentication.

But this config option holds only one password, and it's used to connect to different remote backends.

https://github.com/openstack/manila/commit/ca294a7449601d6f4763fccdb0022fb03a2c82f6#diff-b3aecadf35ea04da97e8c26fd719a28bR53

So if the different remote backends do not have the same password, then connection cannot be established with the remote backends. This issue exists in the curent master branch with HEAD "c75db095a25b7e649a5f26fb16cd8855cff1fae9"

Ramana are you still seeing this is later build of manila?

[Ramana Raja (rraja)]

Jason, hi! The problem should still exist.

Hi Ramana! it does not look like anyone is working on Gluster at the moment. The bug can be reopened or recreated if needed thanks!

[Ramana Raja (rraja)]

OK. Thanks, Jason for doing this.
