Forum: Cfengine Help Subject: Re: Looking for some guidance with syncronizing passwords in AIX Author: gusto Link to topic: https://cfengine.com/forum/read.php?3,20589,20617#msg-20617
Yeah the AIX command does not let you sent in the crypted text like linux (chpasswd -e). But you can use the openssl block cipher for an additional steps. I unfortunately have just buried this to a locked area (700) which has been working for me. I agree with the company rules as it makes sense if you have n+ hosts and most places have a common local account structure its a tough to justify handling credentials in clear text. My accounts are mostly random password anyway, which lead to a central crypt repo. The only common method I have found is the openssl but have not implemented it yet. I looks simple on docs but then your managing another set of keys. I always thought of using the PPkeys for this as it would sew up a nice password management solution leveraging Cfengine.
