Hi Craig, 


They are still stored unencrypted in the catalog, which is an issue for us.

Security is a high priority in this case

Hi, 

Anyone playing with the idea to manage passwords on the node by retrieving them 
from an externa source like cyberark ?

The idea is to avoid storing passwords in some 'human readable' form in eg. 
hiera, manifests, catalogs, puppetdb ......
Main concern is security.


Why can't you store them in hiera using hiera-eyaml?, which is what most people 
do - so they are stored inline with the rest of your configuration but are 
encrypted.  If you want to go the extra mile you could use Vault, there is also 
a hiera-vault backend, though I've not got first hand experience of that.
