Description Matthew York 2016-09-14 10:38:36 UTC
Description of problem:
Currently hammer passwords need to be stored unencrypted in ~/.hammer/cli_config.yml

It would be really nice if we could encrypt (or at least obfuscate) these passwords.

Currently my config file looks something like this

<snip>
:foreman:
    :username: admin
    :password: password
</snip>

It would be really nice if could use something like
<snip>
:foreman:
    :username: admin
    :password: cGFzc3dvcmQ=
</snip>

Even if it's just a base64 encode, it would be better than plaintext.

Thanks
