Encrypting values about gocd-yaml-config-plugin HOT 6 CLOSED

Hi,

There isn't a convenient way to do this, yet. There should be UI or API at least in server to encrypt some text and save it in your configuration in SCM. There is an issue about this in gocd gocd/gocd#1829

I tested that it is possible to take some text from cruise-config.xml and actually put it in yaml like this:

secure_variables:
  MY_PASSWORD: "<encrypted-text>"

from gocd-yaml-config-plugin.

Hi,

Thanks, I will try that. I have first feedback of using the YAML configuration. Is there a forum or other place where we can discuss this? I think there could be some improvements in the documentation and I would like to make some suggestions

from gocd-yaml-config-plugin.

There isn't a forum yet. You're very welcome to open an issue with suggestions or PR with documentation improvements.

Thank you, I created a pull requests regarding the README. Once I tested a way to have the password secured I will submit another PR

from gocd-yaml-config-plugin.

For now this can be achieved using openssl, refer this pull request

from gocd-yaml-config-plugin.

@tomzo — can you close this, since the encryption API is available. https://api.gocd.org/current/#encrypt-a-plain-text-value since 17.1. I'll update the README in another PR.
