User module =========== Description ----------- The user module allows to ensure presence, absence, disablement, unlocking and undeletion of users. The user module is as compatible as possible to the Ansible upstream `ipa_user` module, but additionally offers to preserve delete, enable, disable, unlock and undelete users. Features -------- * User management Supported FreeIPA Versions -------------------------- FreeIPA versions 4.4.0 and up are supported by the ipauser module. Requirements ------------ **Controller** * Ansible version: 2.8+ **Node** * Supported FreeIPA version (see above) Usage ===== Example inventory file ```ini [ipaserver] ipaserver.test.local ``` Example playbook to ensure a user is present: ```yaml --- - name: Playbook to handle users hosts: ipaserver become: true tasks: # Ensure user pinky is present - ipauser: ipaadmin_password: SomeADMINpassword name: pinky first: pinky last: Acme uid: 10001 gid: 100 phone: "+555123457" email: pinky@acme.com passwordexpiration: "2023-01-19 23:59:59" password: "no-brain" update_password: on_create # Ensure user brain is present - ipauser: ipaadmin_password: SomeADMINpassword name: brain first: brain last: Acme ``` `update_password` controls if a password for a user will be set in present state only on creation or every time (always). These two `ipauser` module calls can be combined into one with the `users` variable: ```yaml --- - name: Playbook to handle users hosts: ipaserver become: true tasks: # Ensure users pinky and brain are present - ipauser: ipaadmin_password: SomeADMINpassword users: - name: pinky first: pinky last: Acme uid: 10001 gid: 100 phone: "+555123457" email: pinky@acme.com passwordexpiration: "2023-01-19 23:59:59" password: "no-brain" - name: brain first: brain last: Acme update_password: on_create ``` You can also alternatively use a json file containing the users, here `users_present.json`: ```json { "users": [ { "name": "user1", "first": "First 1", "last": "Last 1" }, { "name": "user2", "first": "First 2", "last": "Last 2" }, ... ] } ``` And ensure the presence of the users with this example playbook: ```yaml --- - name: Tests hosts: ipaserver become: true gather_facts: false tasks: - name: Include users_present.json include_vars: file: users_present.json - name: Users present ipauser: ipaadmin_password: SomeADMINpassword users: "{{ users }}" ``` Ensure user pinky is present with a generated random password and print the random password: ```yaml --- - name: Playbook to handle users hosts: ipaserver become: true tasks: # Ensure user pinky is present with a random password - ipauser: ipaadmin_password: SomeADMINpassword name: brain first: brain last: Acme random: yes register: ipauser - name: Print generated random password debug: var: ipauser.user.randompassword ``` Ensure users pinky and brain are present with a generated random password and print the random passwords: ```yaml --- - name: Playbook to handle users hosts: ipaserver become: true tasks: # Ensure users pinky and brain are present with random password - ipauser: ipaadmin_password: SomeADMINpassword users: - name: pinky first: pinky last: Acme uid: 10001 gid: 100 phone: "+555123457" email: pinky@acme.com passwordexpiration: "2023-01-19 23:59:59" password: "no-brain" - name: brain first: brain last: Acme register: ipauser - name: Print generated random password of pinky debug: var: ipauser.user.pinky.randompassword - name: Print generated random password of brain debug: var: ipauser.user.brain.randompassword ``` Example playbook to delete a user, but preserve it: ```yaml --- - name: Playbook to handle users hosts: ipaserver become: true tasks: # Remove but preserve user pinky - ipauser: ipaadmin_password: SomeADMINpassword name: pinky preserve: yes state: absent ``` This can also be done with the `users` variable containing only names, this can be combined into one module call: Example playbook to delete a user, but preserve it using the `users` variable: ```yaml --- - name: Playbook to handle users hosts: ipaserver become: true tasks: # Remove but preserve user pinky - ipauser: ipaadmin_password: SomeADMINpassword users: - name: pinky preserve: yes state: absent ``` This can also be done as an alternative with the `users` variable containing only names. Example playbook to undelete a preserved user. ```yaml --- - name: Playbook to handle users hosts: ipaserver become: true tasks: # Undelete preserved user pinky - ipauser: ipaadmin_password: SomeADMINpassword name: pinky state: undeleted ``` This can also be done as an alternative with the `users` variable containing only names. Example playbook to disable a user: ```yaml --- - name: Playbook to handle users hosts: ipaserver become: true tasks: # Disable user pinky - ipauser: ipaadmin_password: SomeADMINpassword name: pinky state: disabled ``` This can also be done as an alternative with the `users` variable containing only names. Example playbook to enable users: ```yaml --- - name: Playbook to handle users hosts: ipaserver become: true tasks: # Enable user pinky and brain - ipauser: ipaadmin_password: SomeADMINpassword name: pinky,brain state: enabled ``` This can also be done as an alternative with the `users` variable containing only names. Example playbook to unlock users: ```yaml --- - name: Playbook to handle users hosts: ipaserver become: true tasks: # Unlock user pinky and brain - ipauser: ipaadmin_password: SomeADMINpassword name: pinky,brain state: unlocked ``` Example playbook to ensure users are absent: ```yaml --- - name: Playbook to handle users hosts: ipaserver become: true tasks: # Ensure users pinky and brain are absent - ipauser: ipaadmin_password: SomeADMINpassword name: pinky,brain state: absent ``` This can also be done as an alternative with the `users` variable containing only names. Example playbook to ensure users are absent: ```yaml --- - name: Playbook to handle users hosts: ipaserver become: true tasks: # Ensure users pinky and brain are absent - ipauser: ipaadmin_password: SomeADMINpassword users: - name: pinky - name: brain state: absent ``` Variables ========= ipauser ------- **General Variables:** Variable | Description | Required -------- | ----------- | -------- `ipaadmin_principal` | The admin principal is a string and defaults to `admin` | no `ipaadmin_password` | The admin password is a string and is required if there is no admin ticket available on the node | no `name` | The list of user name strings. `name` with *user variables* or `users` containing *user variables* need to be used. | no **User variables** | Only used with `name` variable in the first level. | no `users` | The list of user dicts.
