When ECE completes installation, the screen will display passwords for admin, read-only users and for allocator, roles and emergency tokens.
These passwords are long and complex. Does ECE store these passwords anywhere or could the passwords be piped to a text file for easier retrieval?
All those passwords are stored in a JSON file - we recommend you remove this file from the disk and then store it in a secure vault:
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-enterprise/current/ece-installing.html
These secrets are placed into the
/mnt/data/elastic/bootstrap-state/bootstrap-secrets.jsonsecrets file, unless you passed in a different path with the--host-storage-pathparameter.
(note that you can set the admin/readonly passwords from the CLI, and it's also possible to add/remove tokens programmatically from the API)
