Hi team ,
Iam using Ansible Awx and I tried the tower cli feature to take Awx backup in Jon format and was able to restore the same onto another AWX instance but could you please help me in below-
I noticed that the AWX users passwords and the devices credentials stored we’re not working ? Is there a way to correct this behavior or I have to manually reset all the passwords .
NEED HELP HERE!!
Thanks.
Hello,
Passwords and credential secrets are stored using symmetric encryption in the database, and it’s an intentional API design choice (for security purposes) that you can’t get the values back out via the API (which is what the CLI relies on). I’ve seen people resort to a number of creative solutions and hacks to work around this (if you can get shell access to a node as the awx user, you can effectively decrypt the values), but there’s not anything officially supported in the CLI tool (or API).
