Role Variables
|
|
--------------
|
|
Available variables are listed below, along with default values. A sample file for the default values is available in `default/provision_ansible_user.yml.sample` in case you need it for any `group_vars` or `host_vars` configuration.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
provision_ansible_user_name: ansible # by default, set to ansible
|
|
```
|
|
This variable sets the name to configure for the service account.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
provision_ansible_user_group: ansible # by default, set to ansible
|
|
```
|
|
This variable sets the primary group to configure for the service account.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
provision_ansible_user_password: "*" # by default, set to *
|
|
```
|
|
This variable sets the password of the account, by default, it is set to "*", which means password authentication is disabled.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
provision_ansible_user_is_system: true # by default, set to true
|
|
```
|
|
This variable describe whether the account should be a system user or not. Default (and recommended) is `true`.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
provision_ansible_user_home: /opt/{{ provision_ansible_user_name }} # by default, set to /opt/{{ provision_ansible_user_name }}
|
|
```
|
|
This variable sets the home for the service account. By default the home of the account is set in /opt/.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
provision_ansible_user_shell: /bin/bash # by default, set to /bin/bash
|
|
```
|
|
This variable sets the shell to be used by the account. Defaults to bash.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
provision_ansible_user_sudoer: false # by default, set to false
|
|
```
|
|
This variable defines if the user should be root. For security reasons, this defaults to `false`, but should probably be `true` in a real world scenario.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
provision_ansible_user_add_ssh_key: false # by default, set to false
|
|
```
|
|
This variable defines if ssh_keys should be added to the authroized_keys file for the user. Defaults to `false` because there is no "default" ssh_key. This should be set to true and a key passed to the role.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
provision_ansible_user_ssh_key: # by default, not set
|
|
```
|
|
This variable contains the ssh public key to use by ansible to log in the service account. Defaults to `None`, but should be set by the operator, and preferably obfuscated (see examples).
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
provision_ansible_user_ssh_key_options: "" # by default, set to ""
|
|
```
|
|
This variable sets the potential ssh options to add in the authorized_keys file. Default to no options.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
provision_ansible_user_ssh_key_exclusive: true # by default, set to true
|
|
```
|
|
This variable defines if the ssh public key passed above should be the only key to log into this account. For security reasons, it is recommended that this gets set to `true`.
|
