authenticate using a username password

[sandeepdaggupati]

Hi Greg,

Can I use the password stored in the Key Storage to authenticate to the ec2 nodes?

We would like to setup a rundeck service account on all the ec2 nodes in our environment and use the password stored in the Key Storage to ssh into the nodes instead of private keys.

Thanks, Sandeep.

yes either configure the project with a default key storage key, or set the ssh-key-storage-path attribute on the ec2 nodes. you can do that in the plugin mapping, e.g.:

ssh-key-storage-path.default=keys/ec2/${node.name}.key

also set the auth type to "password":

ssh-authentication.default=password
