trocla | A password store for password creation and retrieval | Identity Management library

trocla is a Ruby library typically used in Security, Identity Management applications. trocla has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. However trocla has a Non-SPDX License. You can download it from GitHub.

Trocla provides you a simple way to create and store (random) passwords on a central server, which can be retrieved by other applications. An example for such an application is puppet and trocla can help you to not store any plaintext or hashed passwords in your manifests by keeping these passwords only on your puppetmaster. Furthermore it provides you a simple cli that helps you to modify the password storage from the cli. Trocla does not only create and/or store a plain password, it is also able to generate (and store) any kind of hashed passwords based on the plain password. As long as the plain password is preset, trocla is able to generate any kind of hashed passwords through an easy extendible plugin system. It is not necessary to store the plain password on the server, you can also just feed trocla with the hashed password and use that in your other tools. A common example for that is that you let puppet retrieve (and hence create) a salted sha512 password for a user. This will then store the salted sha512 of a random password AND the plain text password in trocla. Later you can retrieve (by deleting) the plain password and send it to the user. Puppet will still simply retrieve the hashed password that is stored in trocla, while the plain password is not anymore stored on the server.
