I am using a slightly adapted role taken from

This is working fine so far but one little thing I can't get to work.

I want to force newly created users to change their password when they login
for the first time. For that reason I need to know which user is new on a
system.

Sorry, two answers you probably don't want to read:

1. While I really like ansible to achieve many tasks I don't consider it to be a decent IAM system. An ansible-based solution lacks important features like enforcing uniqueness on IDs, secure password reset process, etc. You should rather consider setting up a decent IAM.

2. Enforcing password reset after first login does not work well in a pure server environment. This mech is designed for workstation logins after initial password reset. I'd recommend to implement a better password reset process which avoids this.

Ciao, Michael.
