How do I generate crypted passwords for the user module?
Answer / Kanchan Kumar
To generate encrypted passwords in Ansible's user module, you can use the 'vault' feature. First, you need to encrypt your password using the ansible-vault command. Here's an example of how to do this:nn$ echo "mypassword" | ansible-vault encrypt -k your_passphrase > password.ymlnThen, in your playbook, use the user module with the 'vault_password_file' option set to the encrypted file:nn---
hosts: all
tasks:
- name: Add user with encrypted password
user:
name: myuser
password: "@VaultPassword(my_password.yml, your_passphrase)"n
