Hi All,

We are using ansible vault to encrypt group\_vars in our environment. We are using github to store code and jenkins for CI. I am able to use ansible vault locally but I want to use ansible vault in automated system . I don’t understand “how to use ansible vault with jenkins and github and where to store vault password so that jenkins server can decrypt encrypted variables on remote machine” .

Thanks,  
Jassi

I assume you add it as a credential. The latest Jenkins ansible plugin supports it
