---------------------------------------- Feature #16412: flag file resources and other diff-able things as "no-diff", to avoid disclosing passwords https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/16412#change-87571 * Author: Dustin Mitchell * Status: In Topic Branch Pending Review * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Dustin Mitchell * Category: * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: * Keywords: ux * Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/1560 ---------------------------------------- Diffs are great for most stuff, but for files containing sensitive information - PII, passwords, keys, etc. - Puppet's diffs get distributed a bit too widely - in reports, in emails, etc. I'd like to add another attribute to the file type (I'm flexible on the name), that will cause the file not to generate diffs: file { "/etc/sekrits": content => ..., backup => false, showdiffs => false; } (this might also be useful for files that often have large, uninteresting diffs) I'm willing to write the patch for this. I'm just looking for some vague sense that it's worthwhile before I start. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
