Warden

Azure credential management for Linux; an alternative to Credulous for AWS.

Warden provides a secure enclave for the storage, encryption and loading of Microsoft Azure environment credentials, capable of managing multiple sets of user credentials on a single machine or compute node.

Users credentials are stored encrypted behind a password protected username that, with successful authentication, are injected into the shell runtime environment, so that they can be used by other tools like Terraform.

Installation:

Using Vagrant? Clone directly onto the Virtual Machine.

• git clone https://github.com/danielfears/warden.git
• cd into /warden folder cloned from git.
• Run the following command: . install.sh

Updating:

• cd into the /warden folder cloned from git.
• Run git pull to download the latest version.
• Run . update.sh to update core files.
• This will preserve all existing credential profiles.

Usage Guide:

Commands:

• warden-add - stores a new set of credentials under a username and password.
• warden-source - source a set of stored credentials.
• warden-list - show all currently stored usernames.
• warden-remove - remove an existing profile
• warden-help - display the help menu

When adding a new profile, you will be asked for the following:

• ARM_SUBSCRIPTION_ID
• ARM_CLIENT_ID
• ARM_CLIENT_SECRET
• ARM_TENANT_ID

To exit out of a Warden command, use ctrl + c.

To update a credential profile, remove the existing one and add as new.

Uninstall:

• To uninstall, run warden-uninstall

Support for AWS is in the works, so stay tuned.
