External providers for secrets management in AWX

Hello,

I’m reading this page of the latest version of Ansible Tower about the integration with third-party secrets providers.

https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-tower/latest/html/administration/credential_plugins.html
I just installed the latest version of AWX and I don’t see those options in the credentials page.
Will that functionality be integrated into AWX? of will it stay Tower exclusive?

I found this PR for CyberArk Conjur, but it’s not the exact functionality showed in the Tower documentation.

Regards,
Sergio

Hi Sergio,

What version of AWX are you running? I’m running version 4.0.0 and I can see the 2 Cyberark, 2 Hashicorp, and Azure credential types so I don’t think the credential plugins are meant to be Tower exclusive. The AWX docs on credential plugins are also part of the repo (https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/docs/credential_plugins.md)

Hello,

I’m running 4.0.0 and I don’t see those credential types in the list.

This is a Docker-compose installation. Maybe I’m missing some inventory variable to enable the credential plugins?

Thanks,

Update: Now I’m running AWX 5.0.0 and I see the new credential types.
