Ansible and Remote Desktop Manager
Automate with confidence by bringing secrets into your Ansible workflows
About the Ansible and Remote Desktop Manager integration
Ansible is an automation tool used to manage systems, deploy configurations, and orchestrate workflows at scale. By integrating Ansible with Remote Desktop Manager, you can securely pull the secrets you need for automation while keeping them centralized and protected in our self-hosted data source (DVLS). RDM acts as the management layer for your secrets, while the data source provides the secure backend required for secret retrieval.
Ansible features
Dynamic secret delivery without vault files
Remove the need for Ansible Vault password files and manual re-encryption. Secrets are pulled from our data source at runtime and never touch disk, logs, or state files. This eliminates shared vault keys and keeps sensitive values out of your automation environment.
Automatic credential rotation with no playbook change
Rotate passwords and keys in the data source and have every playbook run automatically use the updated values. There’s no code to update, no re-encryption steps, and no risk of stale credentials lingering in your automation workflows.
Role-based, cross-platform access control
Use the same playbook across dev, staging, and production while the data source enforces who can access which secrets. RBAC ensures the right teams get the right credentials, and everything stays unified across Linux, Windows, network devices, and cloud platforms.
