Synopsis

  • Create, modify or erase directory services configurations. There is no facility to SSL certificates at this time. Use the FlashBlade GUI for this additional configuration work.

  • If updating a directory service and i(bind_password) is provided this will always cause a change, even if the password given isn’t different from the current. This makes this part of the module non-idempotent..

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

  • python >= 2.7

  • purity_fb >= 1.9

  • netaddr

  • pytz

The base DN should specify DC= for each domain component and multiple DCs should be separated by commas.

bind_password

string

Sets the password of the bind_user user name account.

bind_user

string

Sets the user name that can be used to bind to and query the directory.

For Active Directory, enter the username - often referred to as sAMAccountName or User Logon Name - of the account that is used to perform directory lookups.

For OpenLDAP, enter the full DN of the user.

A list of up to 30 URIs of the directory servers. Each URI must include the scheme ldap:// or ldaps:// (for LDAP over SSL), a hostname, and a domain name or IP address.
