Hi all,
Thank you for reading my question. I am running into this issue and hope
you can help me!
What we want to do is feed a tool with ansible to automate this. We have
99% ready, however the random password generation is still a bit difficult.
Our goal is to generate a random password per user, register this as a
unique variable based on username and then use this variable to perform
multiple actions such as mailing the password and creating the user with
password.
We now run into the following issue:
The stdout of a dynamic variable is lost, and we cannot find the dynamic
variable name to use it in our playbook. When we call the dynamic variable
in the manner we created it we get various errors.
File information:
========= task file: main.yml ============
- include_vars: foo.yml
tags:
- rogier
- name: Generate a random password per user
shell: /usr/bin/openssl passwd -1 -in /dev/urandom | head -1
with_dict: users
register: "{{item.username}}_result"

===================================
Do you have any suggestion how we can be able to use this dynamic
variable.stdout?
