I have a strange issue when setting passwords for a user with the user
module, it seems to be mangling the password somehow. When i use a plain
shell command to set the password it does work ...
Code causing the error:
- name: Add user someuser usingAnsible user module
user: name=someuser password="{{ someuser_password }}"
groups=someuser,shadow append=yes state=present
Working workaround:
- name: Add user someuser using shell
shell: (echo "{{ someuser_password }}"; echo "{{ someuser_password }}") |
sudo passwd someuser
Once present the user created does some password-authenticated java
commands and when i use the erronous code this all fails.
If i login to the machine manually and update the password while these
calls are being made by the ansible run i see the commands start succeeding
again.
The workaround gets me by for now but is not ideal
