Login/Password encryption in host file

[Ashish Sagar]

Hi,

Is there anyway to only encrypt Device login/password credentials in hosts file ? If so, Where should encryption key be saved and how to use it for decrypt ?

Thanks in Advace.

Ansible Documentation is a wonderful place. Did you try searching for the solution? Try the following doc, it has got all the scenarios.

https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/vault.html  

You can use group vars directory and create yml files with group names with encrypted credential values.

Regards,

Ankit

You could use vault / hash or shadow your password and use that hashed value. Or you could add you job to a CI/CD pipeline add your credentials into that pipeline which will be hashed out on Stdout
