Thanks for the hiera support, but is a password in hiera more secure than in a manifest? |
|
That is an interesting question ... I very recently learned that |
|
Hiera 3 will be deprecated, not all hiera versions. How a hiera lookup is better? The only way to be secure with passwords is to encrypt hiera files with eyaml. |

Great idea! Thanks @ubellavance |

Greetings,
I am a security researcher, who is looking for security smells in Puppet scripts.
I noticed two instances of hard-coded passwords in aeolus-configure/recipes/aeolus/manifests/conductor.pp, which are against the best practices
recommended by Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) [https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/259.html] and also by other security practitioners.
I have added hiera support to mitigate this smell.
Feedback is welcome.
