[Enhancement] Support for encrypted databags
Idea
To further improve this cookbook I would like to be able to use encrypted data bags to store sensitive information. To name a few:
server['admin_password']server['keystore_password']portal['security_question']&portal['security_question_answer']
Ideas for implementation
- Specify the bag name and key as an attribute
- Specify the location of the shared secret
- Perhaps do something with environments
Edit: Keep in mind I might be wrong about how data bags should be used.
I agree. The current documentation suggests storing credentials in plain text is okay, but it is actually really insecure.
agreed. This would be very useful for our environment as well.
