netapp.ontap.na_ontap_user module – NetApp ONTAP user configuration and management
Note
This module is part of the netapp.ontap collection (version 22.8.3).
You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package.
It is not included in ansible-core.
To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.
To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install netapp.ontap.
You need further requirements to be able to use this module,
see Requirements for details.
To use it in a playbook, specify: netapp.ontap.na_ontap_user.
New in netapp.ontap 2.6.0
Synopsis
Create or destroy users.
Requirements
The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.
Ansible 2.9 or later - 2.12 or later is recommended.
Python3 - 3.9 or later is recommended.
When using ZAPI, netapp-lib 2018.11.13 or later (install using ‘pip install netapp-lib’), netapp-lib 2020.3.12 is strongly recommended as it provides better error reporting for connection issues
a physical or virtual clustered Data ONTAP system, the modules support Data ONTAP 9.1 and onward, REST support requires ONTAP 9.6 or later
Parameters
Parameter |
Comments |
|---|---|
List of applications to grant access to. Provides better control on applications and authentication methods. Creating a login with application console, telnet, rsh, and service-processor for a data vserver is not supported. Module supports both service-processor and service_processor choices. ZAPI requires service-processor, while REST requires service_processor, except for an issue with ONTAP 9.6 and 9.7. snmp is not supported in REST. Either |
|
name of the application. Choices:
|
|
list of authentication methods for the application (see Choices:
|
|
when using ssh, optional additional authentication method for MFA. Choices:

List of applications to grant access to. This option maintains backward compatibility with the existing It is recommended to use the new Creating a login with application console, telnet, rsh, and service-processor for a data vserver is not supported. Module supports both service-processor and service_processor choices. ZAPI requires service-processor, while REST requires service_processor, except for an issue with ONTAP 9.6 and 9.7. snmp is not supported in REST. Either Choices:
|
|
Authentication method for the application. If you need more than one method, use Not all authentication methods are valid for an application. Valid authentication methods for each application are as denoted in authentication_choices_description. Password for console application Password, domain, nsswitch, cert, saml for http application. Password, domain, nsswitch, cert, saml for ontapi application. SAML is only supported with REST, but seems to work with ZAPI as well. Community for snmp application (when creating SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 users). The usm and community for snmp application (when creating SNMPv3 users). Password for sp application. Password for rsh application. Password for telnet application. Password, publickey, domain, nsswitch for ssh application. Required when Choices:
|
|
Password for the authentication protocol. This should be minimum 8 characters long. This is required for ‘md5’, ‘sha’ and ‘sha2-256’ authentication protocols and not required for ‘none’. Only available for ‘usm’ authentication method and non modifiable. |
|
Authentication protocol for the snmp user. When cluster FIPS mode is on, ‘sha’ and ‘sha2-256’ are the only possible and valid values. When cluster FIPS mode is off, the default value is ‘none’. When cluster FIPS mode is on, the default value is ‘sha’. Only available for ‘usm’ authentication method and non modifiable. Choices:
|
|
path to SSL client cert file (.pem). not supported with python 2.6. |
|
Authoritative entity’s EngineID for the SNMPv3 user. This should be specified as a hexadecimal string. Engine ID with first bit set to 1 in first octet should have a minimum of 5 or maximum of 32 octets. Engine Id with first bit set to 0 in the first octet should be 12 octets in length. Engine Id cannot have all zeros in its address. Only available for ‘usm’ authentication method and non modifiable. |
|
Enable or disable a new feature. This can be used to enable an experimental feature or disable a new feature that breaks backward compatibility. Supported keys and values are subject to change without notice. Unknown keys are ignored. |
|
Override the cluster ONTAP version when using REST. The behavior is undefined if the version does not match the target cluster. This is provided as a work-around when the cluster version cannot be read because of permission issues. See https://github.com/ansible-collections/netapp.ontap/wiki/Known-issues. This should be in the form 9.10 or 9.10.1 with each element being an integer number. When Ignored with ZAPI. |
|
The hostname or IP address of the ONTAP instance. |
|
Override the default port (80 or 443) with this port |
|
Enable and disable https. Ignored when using REST as only https is supported. Ignored when using SSL certificate authentication as it requires SSL. Choices:
|
|
path to SSL client key file. |
|
Whether the specified user account is locked. Choices:
|
|
The name of the user to manage. |
|
The ontap api version to use |
|
Password for the specified user. |
|
Password for the privacy protocol. This should be minimum 8 characters long. This is required for ‘des’ and ‘aes128’ privacy protocols and not required for ‘none’. Only available for ‘usm’ authentication method and non modifiable. |
|
Privacy protocol for the snmp user. When cluster FIPS mode is on, ‘aes128’ is the only possible and valid value. When cluster FIPS mode is off, the default value is ‘none’. When cluster FIPS mode is on, the default value is ‘aes128’. Only available for ‘usm’ authentication method and non modifiable. Choices:
|
|
This optionally specifies the IP Address of the remote switch. The remote switch could be a cluster switch monitored by Cluster Switch Health Monitor (CSHM) or a Fiber Channel (FC) switch monitored by Metro Cluster Health Monitor (MCC-HM). This is applicable only for a remote SNMPv3 user i.e. only if user is a remote (non-local) user, application is snmp and authentication method is usm. |
|
If the user already exists, the current applications and authentications methods are replaced when state=present. If the user already exists, the current applications and authentications methods are removed when state=absent. When using application_dicts or REST, this the only supported behavior. When using application_strs and ZAPI, this is the behavior when this option is set to always. When using application_strs and ZAPI, if the option is set to auto, applications that are not listed are not removed. When using application_strs and ZAPI, if the option is set to auto, authentication mehods that are not listed are not removed.
This is another reason to recommend to use Choices:
|
|
The name of the role. Required when |
|
Password for the user account. It is ignored for creating snmp users, but is required for creating non-snmp users. For an existing user, this value will be used as the new password. |
|
Whether the specified user should exist or not. Choices:
|
|
Whether to use REST or ZAPI. always – will always use the REST API if the module supports REST. A warning is issued if the module does not support REST. An error is issued if a module option is not supported in REST. never – will always use ZAPI if the module supports ZAPI. An error may be issued if a REST option is not supported in ZAPI. auto – will try to use the REST API if the module supports REST and modules options are supported. Reverts to ZAPI otherwise. Default: |
|
This can be a Cluster-scoped or SVM-scoped account, depending on whether a Cluster-level or SVM-level API is required. For more information, please read the documentation https://mysupport.netapp.com/NOW/download/software/nmsdk/9.4/. Two authentication methods are supported
To use a certificate, the certificate must have been installed in the ONTAP cluster, and cert authentication must have been enabled. |
|
If set to This should only set to Choices:
|
|
The name of the vserver to use. Required with ZAPI. With REST, ignore this option for creating cluster scoped interface. |
Notes
Note
The modules prefixed with na_ontap are built to support the ONTAP storage platform.
https is enabled by default and recommended. To enable http on the cluster you must run the following commands ‘set -privilege advanced;’ ‘system services web modify -http-enabled true;’
