Over three years ago we introduced git and systemd custom propmise types.
While these are quite functional I recently needed to manage a git repository that was private and so needed a way to authenticate to a git server, in this case gitlab.
Gitlab has project access tokens but we didn’t directly support any sort of authentication attributes on the promise type.
I ran across git credential as a way to provide authentication and thought it was a good fit.
Today we announce the newest additions to CFEngine. CFEngine 3.16 brings several improvements, bug fixes, and new features. The theme for this release has been compliance, and it notably includes a new category of reports for proving compliance to regulation and other compliance frameworks in high level, easy to read reports. If you are interested to learn more about CFEngine, schedule training, or hear about pricing options, feel free to reach out to us!
Contributor and CFEngine Champion, Jon Henrik Bjørnstad, developed a tool for encrypting files using CFEngine host keys, called cf-keycrypt. Thank you to Jon Henrik and all of our contributors for helping improve the CFEngine project. Our developer, Vratislav Podzimek, recently took some time to review the cf-keycrypt code, and made many improvements and fixes. The most notable changes were:
Switched to hybrid encryption (payload is encrypted with randomly generated AES key, AES key is encrypted with RSA key). Added file format, with HTTP-like headers for metadata Files can be encrypted for multiple hosts (host keys) Name changed to cf-secret cf-secret is now merged and will be a part of the upcoming 3.16 release.
