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](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.  
[https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/3341](https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/3341)

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](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.
