# ansible-role-create-users
|
|
|
|
[](https://travis-ci.org/ryandaniels/ansible-role-create-users)
|
|
|
|
Role to manage users on linux.
|
|
Manage users in the user list config file (list is in the file vars/secret).
|
|
Add users (with specific uid), change passwords, lock/unlock user accounts, manage sudo access (per user), add ssh key(s) for sshkey based authentication, set user's primary group and gid, add user (append) to group(s) and group will be created if doesn't exist.
|
|
This is done on a per "group" basis (Ansible group variables), as set in the config file. The group comes from the Ansible group as set for a server in the inventory file.
|
|
|
|
More detailed example can be found in the blog post: [User Management with Ansible](https://ryandaniels.ca/blog/ansible-user-management/)
|
|
|
|
Note: Deleting users is not done on purpose.
|
|
|
|
## Distros tested
|
|
|
|
* Ubuntu 18.04 / 16.04
|
|
* CentOS / RHEL: 7.x, 6.5, 5.9
|
|
|
|
## Dependencies
|
|
|
|
Requires Ansible 2.6 (due to previous [bug 20096](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/20096) with un-expiring users)
|
|
|
|
## ansible-vault
|
|
|
|
Use ansible-vault to encrypt sensitive info from git.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cat vars/secret
|
|
#encrypt if cleartext (before git commit/push)
|
|
ansible-vault encrypt vars/secret
|
|
|
|
#Edit encrypted file:
|
|
ansible-vault edit vars/secret
|
|
|
|
vi .vaultpass
|
|
-Enter the password for Ansible Vault from Password Safe
|
|
chmod 600 .vaultpass
|
|
vi ansible.cfg
|
|
#Insert the following lines
|
|
[defaults]
|
|
vault_password_file = ./.vaultpass
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## .gitignore
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
vi .gitignore
|
|
#Insert the following lines
|
|
.vaultpass
|
|
.retry
|
|
secret
|
|
*.secret
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## How to generate password
|
|
|
|
* on Ubuntu - Install "whois" package
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
mkpasswd --method=SHA-512
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* on RedHat - Use Python
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
python -c 'import crypt,getpass; print(crypt.crypt(getpass.getpass(), crypt.mksalt(crypt.METHOD_SHA512)))'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Default Settings
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
---
|
|
#Note: 'debug_enabled_default: true' will put hashed passwords in the output.
|
|
debug_enabled_default: false
|
|
default_update_password: on_create
|
|
default_shell: /bin/bash
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
NOTE: This will not overwrite an existing SSH key
|
|
* **ssh_key_bits**: Optionally specify number of bits in SSH key to create. (optional, default set by ssh-keygen)
|
|
* **ssh_key_passphrase**: Set a passphrase for the SSH key. If no passphrase is provided, the SSH key will default to having no passphrase.
|
|
* **use_sudo**: yes|no (optional, default no)
|
|
* **use_sudo_nopass**: yes|no (optional, default no). yes = passwordless sudo.

|
|
* **servers**: sub-element list of servers where changes are made. **(required)**

|
These are the Ansible groups from your Ansible inventory file. In below examples, `webserver` would be the 3 servers in the `webserver` Ansible inventory `webserver1`, `webserver2`, and `webserver3`.
|
|
|
|
Note:
|
|
You can have duplicate usernames on different servers, if you want to have different settings. See below example of testuser102 has sudo on servers defined as the `webserver` group in the inventory, but no sudo on the `database` group.
|
|
|
|
## Example Ansible Inventory file
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
[webserver]
|
|
webserver1
|
|
webserver2
|
|
webserver3
|
|
|
|
[database]
|
|
db1
|
|
db2
|
|
db3
|
|
|
|
[monitoring]
|
|
monitor1

|
```
