All,
I have a playbook that reads in a vars_file and creates new users and then
runs the chage command to force them to change their password on first/next
login. Here is the playbook.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

- hosts: my-test-centos
become: yes
vars_files:
- /home/rkruck/ansible-playbooks/users.yml
tasks:
- name: Adding users from user.yml file
user:
name: "{{ item.name }}"
state: present
comment: "{{ item.comment }}"
uid: "{{ item.uid }}"
password:
$6$QAnwjCYOtTaLJkHE$k3tKqKT0B/mFugYNBjuhY7RCVU/AwvW00wTg6p/66Gp/MoWdN2QfveJxGmsdho5Hn.xduUVCuLiXHPeZDod/o1
update_password: on_create
createhome: yes
with_items: "{{ users }}"
- name: Force password change for user test-user
command: "chage -d 0 {{ item.name }}"
with_items: "{{ users }}"
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The first task works fine and creates the users in the user.yml file.
However, when it gets to the password force change I get the following
error:
ERROR! Syntax Error while loading YAML.
mapping values are not allowed in this context
The error appears to have been in
'/home/rkruck/ansible-playbooks/test.yml': line 19, column 16, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.
The offending line appears to be:
- name: Force password change for user test-user
command: "chage -d 0 {{ item.name }}"
^ here
We could be wrong, but this one looks like it might be an issue with
missing quotes. Always quote template expression brackets when they
start a value. For instance:
with_items:
- {{ foo }}
Should be written as:
with_items:
- "{{ foo }}"
I'm confused as to what I am doing wrong.
Any help is appreciated
