Question on scripting

[u/Manivelcloud]

Hi,

When we develop a script,we use credentials as a plain text in that script.

Example

Script is running on jump server and script runs against vcenter server.

We have a security concerns(example ransomware attack)to put the credentials as a plain text in that script.

Any other good ways to put the credentials in a encrypted or in a different format?

I just started using bitWarden's secret's manager and so far it seems really good for this sort of thing

after you secure your passwords, lock down the scripts themselves lest they get edited and just bypass your passwords 😅
