passwords

Manage users’ passwords. At the moment only passwordstore Unix password manager is implemented.

Passwordstore

Create passwords in passwordstore and enable access for the user who is running the playbook. For example

shell> pass build.example.com/
build.example.com
├── admin
└── root

Configure the variables. Enable the management of the users’ passwords (3), select passwordstore (4), and configure the variable that keeps the name of the host used in passwordstore (5), ansible_nodename in this case. Next options might be inventory_hostname (default), ansible_hostname, or any other custom variable. For example

1shell> cat host_vars/build.example.com/fp-passwords.yml
2---
3fp_passwords: true
4fp_passwordstore: true
5fp_passwordstore_hostname_var: ansible_nodename
6...

Dry-run the tasks, display the variables, and display the changes

shell> ansible-playbook playbook.yml -t fp_passwords -e fp_passwords_debug=true -CD

If all seems to be right manage the users’ passwords

shell> ansible-playbook playbook.yml -t fp_passwords
