User story #860

Updated by Jonathan CLARKE over 12 years ago

As of now, the Rudder packages and other scripts assume that some passwords are fixed : 
 * WebDAV : rudder/rudder    (defined in Apache config but sent out to nodes via generated promises) 
  
 * PostgreSQL user 
 * OpenLDAP manager 
 * Maybe others, this is not exhaustive ! 

 We should modify our postint scripts or anything to generate automatically random passwords (or ask the user for them) and propagate these passwords to all the concerned config files. 

 An option for the WebDAV password would be to put it in the rudder-web config file, and have Rudder read it in, and make it available to Techniques as a special variable, so that the Inventory Technique could use it and send it out to nodes.
