ldap_entry – Add or remove LDAP entries¶
Synopsis¶
- Add or remove LDAP entries. This module only asserts the existence or non-existence of an LDAP entry, not its attributes. To assert the attribute values of an entry, see ldap_attr.
Parameters¶
Notes¶
Note
- The default authentication settings will attempt to use a SASL EXTERNAL bind over a UNIX domain socket. This works well with the default Ubuntu install for example, which includes a cn=peercred,cn=external,cn=auth ACL rule allowing root to modify the server configuration. If you need to use a simple bind to access your server, pass the credentials in bind_dn and bind_pw.
- The params parameter is deprecated in Ansible-2.7 due to circumventing Ansible’s parameter handling. The params parameter started disallowing setting the bind_pw parameter in Ansible-2.7 as it was insecure to set the parameter that way.
Examples¶
- name: Make sure we have a parent entry for users
ldap_entry:
dn: ou=users,dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: organizationalUnit
- name: Make sure we have an admin user
ldap_entry:
dn: cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com
objectClass:
- simpleSecurityObject
- organizationalRole
attributes:
description: An LDAP administrator
userPassword: "{SSHA}tabyipcHzhwESzRaGA7oQ/SDoBZQOGND"
- name: Get rid of an old entry
ldap_entry:
dn: ou=stuff,dc=example,dc=com
state: absent
server_uri: ldap://localhost/
bind_dn: cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com
bind_pw: password
#
# The same as in the previous example but with the authentication details
# stored in the ldap_auth variable:
#
# ldap_auth:
# server_uri: ldap://localhost/
# bind_dn: cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com
# bind_pw: password
#
# In the example below, 'args' is a task keyword, passed at the same level as the module
- name: Get rid of an old entry
ldap_entry:
dn: ou=stuff,dc=example,dc=com
state: absent
args: "{{ ldap_auth }}"
