vmware-esxi-set-password¶
A task to set the ESXi 'root' password to a random value.
This task allows the operator to set an insecure cleartext password value, which will be converted to a SHA512 hash for the machine admin password to be set to.
Alternatively, a unique randomly generated password can be created using
the esxi/generate-random-password param set to true.
Warning
This is considered HIGHLY INSECURE as the cleartext password value is
recorded on the Machine object in the esxi/insecure-password param.
