vmware-esxi-set-password¶
Stage to set the patch list for an ESXi node
This task allows the operator to set an insecure cleartext password value, which will be converted to a SHA512 hash for the machine admin password to be set to.
Alternatively, a unique randomly generated password can be created using
the esxi/generate-random-password
param set to true
.
Note
This is considered HIGHLY INSECURE as the cleartext password value is
recorded on the Machine object in the esxi/insecure-password
param.
