I am looking for embedding credentials in Bamboo to be used in bamboo tasks without requiring password for the username provided. For the SSH task, there is an option to provide Username and password as authentication :
https://confluence.atlassian.com/bamboo/using-the-ssh-task-in-bamboo-306348532.html#:~:text=the%20remote%20hosts.-,Authentication%20type,-Choose%20whether%20Bamboo
However, it is possible to use this option even without providing the password. I could not find any information as to how is this configured. I have seen such setup running and I want to replicate it in the new environment. So I want to provide only username in the field and want bamboo to use the password from 'somewhere'. However, there is no documentation that provides how it is done. Also, it is definitely not the shared credential option as it a different option. Please provide more info
@tarvinder91,
You can use plan variables https://confluence.atlassian.com/bamboo/bamboo-variables-289277087.html.
Passwords can be hidden from any logs/outputs so they are kept secure once they are put into the plan variable.
This unfortunately is not possible and doesnt answer the question. I will try to reframe my question: when using SSH Task, and when u select 'Username and password' option for Authentication, bamboo asks for Username to be used and not Password. My query is regarding how is this password configured. The snapshot is from a working configuration. We dont want to use optional Change password setting.
@tarvinder91, I'm sorry, I'm still not understanding what the problem is. It looks like you do not need to click on the "Change password" setting.
Ok. Well that is exactly my question. In the above settings, feom where will the bamboo use the password and without using the Change password option. Because there is no empty field to supply password but only Username
