Ansible Tower/AWX Credential Management

[Yantram Cloud]

All,

I am looking a way to access credentials that are setup in Ansible Tower credentials.

The scenario I am testing is to clone a private git repo. the way I found to pass the username and password are as follows.

---

- hosts: all 

  gather_facts: no

  become: yes

  tasks:

    - name: install git package

      apt:

        name: git

    - name: Get updated files from git repository 

      git: 

        repo: "https://{{ githubuser | urlencode }}:{{ githubpassword | urlencode }}@github.com/privrepo.git"

        dest: /tmp

Now in this, I want to use the githubuser and githubpassword to be passed from the credentials i have setup under the Credentials in Ansible Tower or a way to pass the credentials securely to my playbook?

Thanks,

Jayant

Hi

This is the ansible list, your question will get more/better response on the dedicated awx list. Give that a try.

Btw i would use public keys or tokens btw for interaction with GitHub, definitely not user password of the actual account.

Thanks, i will post this in the AWX group.

However, the problem is not just limited to git.

 there are scenarios where I need to access the credentials especially the username which is in credentials.

Thanks,

Jayant

I have done this exact task before for a custom credential. We can talk over there
