Johannes Kastl<p>Dear <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/AWX" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>AWX</span></a> users out there (AWX as in Ansible, not AWS as in Amazon...),</p><p>does anyone have good pointers on connecting AWX and <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Hashicorp" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Hashicorp</span></a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Vault" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Vault</span></a> / <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/OpenBoa" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>OpenBoa</span></a> **without** having to define each secret/credential again in AWX?</p><p>I have set up a basic connection according to the documentation: <a href="https://ansible.readthedocs.io/projects/awx/en/24.6.1/userguide/credential_plugins.html#ug-credentials-hashivault" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">ansible.readthedocs.io/project</span><span class="invisible">s/awx/en/24.6.1/userguide/credential_plugins.html#ug-credentials-hashivault</span></a><br />And I have created a credential using that lookup and could successfully output its value in a playbook run in AWX.</p><p>But having to define a AWX credential for each secret that I need to pull from Vault/OpenBoa sounds like a lot of unnecessary duplication.<br />(Yes, I know you can manage AWX via Ansible. We do that already. But still, you need to define the credentials in your code somewhere for the automation to create it in AWX)</p><p><a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/DevOps" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>DevOps</span></a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/security" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>security</span></a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/InfrastructureAsCode" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>InfrastructureAsCode</span></a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Ansible" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Ansible</span></a></p>
