Title: Message Title

Sruti created an issue   Puppet / PUP-8399 Passwords appear in puppet log when powershell script fails Issue Type: Improvement Assignee: Unassigned Components: Modules, Windows Created: 2018/01/25 1:14 PM Environment: Operating system: Win 2012 R2 Priority: Normal Reporter: Sruti *Puppet Version:*2016.4.5 Puppet Server Version: *OS Name/Version: Windows 2012 R2 Test Setup A password and username in encrypted and stored in Hiera. These are passed to example.pp which consists of: exec { command => ''examplecommand --username $testuser --password $testpass", path => facts[$path], logoutput =>true } For some reason the above exec fails, the output displays failed password. The same applies when I try to create ps1 files from template and assign parameters within. All the information is displayed in puppet logs. Is there a way to not log any error out(just a failure notice)/mask the password in log. Want to know what is the best way to achieve this. Desired Behavior: Passwords not to be displayed in error log. Actual Behavior: Passwords from command/scripts from powershell on exec failure.
