Integrating Red Hat Ansible with Secret Server
The integration between Red Hat Ansible and Secret Server or Secret Server on the Delinea Platform enables organizations to securely manage and retrieve credentials within Ansible automation workflows. Secret Server acts as a secure repository for storing sensitive credentials required within Ansible playbooks and automation tasks. Credentials are encrypted and protected within Secret Server's vault. Ansible can retrieve credentials from Secret Server during the execution of playbooks and automation tasks. This eliminates the need to store credentials directly in the automation code or expose them in configuration files.
The following Galaxy collections are available for this integration:
-
The delinea.ss collection. This collection supports the integration with only Secret Server Cloud and Secret Server On-Premises.
-
The delinea.platform_secretserver collection. This collection supports the integration with Secret Server Cloud and Secret Server on the Delinea Platform.
In addition to the collections above, Delinea provides the tss.py plugin in the Ansible Community General Collection repository. This plugin supports the integration with Secret Server Cloud and Secret Server on the Delinea Platform.
The integration supports Secret Server Cloud, Secret Server On-Premises, and Secret Server on the Delinea Platform, providing a consistent and seamless experience across deployment environments.
