I'm using pass at home, but I've used hashicorp vault at a few jobs with great success.
IBM just forked it to openBao as well to get around the business license, if that's a concern for your. But honestly I'd trust hashicorp more than IBM at this point.
Please excuse the absolute newbie question - What's "pass"?
Pass for personal use is great. Especially if paired with a self hosted private git repo like gitea.
Pass works well on all platforms I've tried, even android and wsl (although I've not tried with iPhone).
In a corporate setting. The biggest questions is going to be if there is already a secret store that has an API. If security will let you roll your own. How is it allowed to be networked. Who are the preferred vendors and is there any enterprise support available.
Pass works decently for us (fine except for the GPG key management aspect really) and allows us to have our Puppet config management write new secrets easily and read secrets for config file generation and similar purporses.
Indeed, I had heard of OpenBao recently. If it's a Vault replacement, I'm assuming good support with API and orchestration tools. I'll check it out, thanks.
How is pass treating you?
If you like pass, you might want to look into passage
Does pass have an API I can use in Ansbile/Terraform/IaC tools?
It's a cli tool, so you can call it within another call using dollar sign syntax
terraform apply --var "myvalue=$(pass path/to/value)"Thanks
Could you tell me how I can use pass whilst authenticating an application with something akin to identities? I.e. I need application 1 to be able to access a certain key but I don't want application 2 to be able to do so. How would I be able to restrict access to keys?
A bit about the scenario: I will be running this in a VM which will act as my central password suite on the network, which I will access using a password/keys.
Pass can't do this.
I might actually have to use Conjur for temporary credentials in my network. Thanks
I’m using sops with my GPG key currently.
That's new, haven't heard of that before. Thanks
