RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Fixed In Version: rhel-system-roles-1.21.0-0.14.el8
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
.The `ha_cluster` System Role logs no longer display unencrypted passwords and secrets The `ha_cluster` System Role accepts parameters that can be passwords or other secrets. Previously, some of the tasks would log their inputs and outputs. As a result, the role logs could contain unencrypted passwords and other secrets. With this update, the tasks have been changed to use the Ansible `no_log: true` directive and the task output is no longer displayed in the role logs. The `ha_cluster` System Role logs no longer contain passwords and other secrets. While this update protects secure information, the role logs now provide less information that you can use when debugging your configuration.

Comment 2 Tomas Jelinek 2022-11-01 13:56:02 UTC 
Adding no_log to all such tasks would make the role very hard to debug, as the cluster configuration (CIB) would have never be displayed or logged. The root issue here is that the configuration contains passwords in plaintext. There is a RFE bz1803995 to add support for encrypted values in CIB, though. Once that is implemented, it can be used for the role as well.
Comment 16 michal novacek 2023-02-20 08:21:25 UTC 
I have verified that no secret parameters are leaked from the role secrets. 

This have been verified by setting known plaintext secret and setting maximum
verbosity. Running all rhel-system-roles and regression playbooks did not leak
that secret to the log or standard output.
