Securing .pgpass File?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hey,

So, I've searched around through the archives, and it seems this has come up a couple times in the past. But one scenario that was never explored was when using one .pgpass file in a cluster of servers, in which case it makes sense to save it in source control, or something like puppet/bcfg. So my question is this:

Has anyone come up with a good solution for distributing a .pgpass file that doesn't expose it to anyone who has access to the distribution mechanism?

I ask because several people can access and make pull requests to our configuration management system, but except for .pgpass, none of these files contain plain-text passwords. We have dozens of systems running PostgreSQL, and manually setting up each one is a waste of time; we have configuration management for a reason.

Am I just missing something, here?

Thanks, everyone!
