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.
