Hello I am provisioning linux VMs on vCAC 5.2 via cloning and then having the the linux agent make various customizations based on custom properties of the provisioning group that requested the machine. This works great either by adding scipts to the /usr/share/gugent/site/CustomizeOS directory or setting the virtualmachine.software0.scriptpath and other properties, as long as the values are not encrpted.
If I create an encrypted property, for example a password for some configuration file that I would not like readable in the vCAC interface, or even perhaps the rhel registration key, the result appears t be encrypted value.
For instance in the /usr/share/gugent/site/CustomizeOS/70_somescript.sh
#!/bin/bash
AUTHTOK=$(python getprop.py my_encrypted_property)
echo $AUTHTOK >>/root/ldapscrpt.tmp
Does not produce the decrypted string. It does produce something similiar to (
cUUxbpGDCSnY3KsMb/2iw==
I have read examples of unscrambling encrypted properties via powershell, but this is a linux vm
Is there some way to do this in the linux agent
Thank you for your help
