Motivation¶

bmwiedemann from SUSE-IT informed me that security scans have shown openqaworkers to be vulnerable due to the default IPMI passwords. We should provide a unique password for that purpose, potentially unique for each host.

Acceptance criteria¶

• AC1: No IPMI/BMC connection in https://gitlab.suse.de/openqa/salt-pillars-openqa/-/blob/master/openqa/workerconf.sls references the default password anymore

Suggestions¶

• Generate a password for each host with xkcdpass from python3-xkcdpass Just use the same password we have for sp.openqaw8-vmware.qa.suse.de where bmwiedemann recently set a new password
• Set password from each host, e.g. with

rcipmi start 
ipmitool user list
ipmitool user set password 2 'FOOBAR'

• Update https://gitlab.suse.de/openqa/salt-pillars-openqa/-/blob/master/openqa/workerconf.sls
