# Sample vault file
A vault file is used to protect any sensitive variables that should not appear in clear text in your
group_vars/all/vars.yml
file. The vault file will be encrypted and will require a password to be
entered before it can be read or updated.
A sample vault file is provided named group_vars/all/vault.sample
that you can use as a model for your
own vault file. To create a vault, you create a new file called group_vars/all/vault.yml
and add entries similar to:
---
vault_vcenter_password: 'PasswordForYourVcenter'
vault_rancher_password: 'PasswordForRancher'
vault_ad_service_account_password: 'PasswordForActiveDirectoryServiceAccount'
