* Retain vault password as bytes in 2.2
Prior to 2.2.1, the vault password was read in as byes and then remained
bytes all the way through the code. A bug existed where bytes and text
were mixed, leading to a traceback with non-ascii passwords. In devel,
this was fixed by changing the read in password to text type to match
with our overall strategy of converting at the borders. This was
backported to stable-2.2 for the 2.2.1 release.
On reflection, this should not have been backported as it causes
passwords which were originally non-utf-8 to become utf-8. People will
then have their working 2.2.x vault files become in-accessible.
this commit pipes bytes all the way through the system for vault
password. That way if a password is read in as a non-utf-8 character
sequence, it will continue to work in 2.2.2+. This change is only for
the 2.2 branch, not for 2.3 and beyond.
Why not everywhere? The reason is that non-utf-8 passwords will cause
problems when vault files are shared between systems or users. If the
password is read from the prompt and one user/machine has a latin1
encoded locale while a second one has utf-8, the non-ascii password
typed in won't match between machines. Deal with this by making sure
that when we encrypt the data, we always use valid utf-8.
Fixes#20398
(cherry picked from commit 5dcce0666a81917c68b76286685642fd72d84327)
* added docs for vault and made trigger shorter: !vault
* added single var valuting
* Update playbooks_vault.rst
Edit pass for spelling and grammar. Ship it!
* Update playbooks_vault.rst
Typo fixes.
* Add a encode() to AnsibleVaultEncryptedUnicode
Without it, calling encode() on it results in a bytestring
of the encrypted !vault-encrypted string.
ssh connection plugin triggers this if ansible_password
is from a var using !vault-encrypted. That path ends up
calling .encode() instead of using the __str__.
Fixes#19795
* Fix str.encode() errors on py2.6
py2.6 str.encode() does not take keyword arguments.
We couldn't copy to_unicode, to_bytes, to_str into module_utils because
of licensing. So once created it we had two sets of functions that did
the same things but had different implementations. To remedy that, this
change removes the ansible.utils.unicode versions of those functions.
Make !vault-encrypted create a AnsibleVaultUnicode
yaml object that can be used as a regular string object.
This allows a playbook to include a encrypted vault
blob for the value of a yaml variable. A 'secret_password'
variable can have it's value encrypted instead of having
to vault encrypt an entire vars file.
Add __ENCRYPTED__ to the vault yaml types so
template.Template can treat it similar
to __UNSAFE__ flags.
vault.VaultLib api changes:
- Split VaultLib.encrypt to encrypt and encrypt_bytestring
- VaultLib.encrypt() previously accepted the plaintext data
as either a byte string or a unicode string.
Doing the right thing based on the input type would fail
on py3 if given a arg of type 'bytes'. To simplify the
API, vaultlib.encrypt() now assumes input plaintext is a
py2 unicode or py3 str. It will encode to utf-8 then call
the new encrypt_bytestring(). The new methods are less
ambiguous.
- moved VaultLib.is_encrypted logic to vault module scope
and split to is_encrypted() and is_encrypted_file().
Add a test/unit/mock/yaml_helper.py
It has some helpers for testing parsing/yaml
Integration tests added as roles test_vault and test_vault_embedded
PyYAML has a SafeRepresenter in lib/... that defines
def represent_unicode(self, data):
return self.represent_scalar(u'tag:yaml.org,2002:str', data)
and a different SafeRepresenter in lib3/... that defines
def represent_str(self, data):
return self.represent_scalar('tag:yaml.org,2002:str', data)
so the right thing to do on Python 3 is to use represent_str.
(AnsibleUnicode is a subclass of six.text_type, i.e. 'str' on Python 3.)
