Description

When using Inspec with Windows and WinRM you have to provide a password using the --password paremter via inspec exec. Instead of making this be sent as an extra argument add a parameter to the provisioner.

Use Case(s)

Using Packer with Windows WinRM and the Inspec Provisioner over WinRM

Potential configuration

  provisioner "inspec" {
    backend                = "winrm"
    password              = {{.WinRMPassword}}
    host                       = "{{build `Host`}}"
    inspec_env_vars   = ["CHEF_LICENSE=accept"]
    profile                   = "https://github.com/kclinden/microsoft-windows-server-2016-stig-baseline"
    user                      = "Administrator"
  }
