API Payload with Password Input

[Russ Robinson]

Team,

  When making an api call to start a job with an option field with input type "Plain Text with Password Input" (in which a step in the job uses when calling python winrm plugin), is it possible to encrypt the password value in the json payload sent for this field?  Obviously, we would rather not have the password in clear text when sending the payload to the Rundeck API.

Hello, Russ.

The ideal solution is to include a secure option (in your job) that points to a password stored in the rundeck key storage. Thus, the payload contains simply the key storage address where the password is saved, not the password itself.

Regards.
