Ansible User Module Generate_ssh_key

Read the question carefully. Error code 500 on a webserver indicates a script error and is something of the most general type of description which can be given. In addition to solutions 1 and 2 that are quite good, you can also adjust the information returned by the aite when an error occurs so that it display a detailled error.Usually, you want to hide error in a production site so the trick above should only be used temporarily on a site that is not intensively used.Otherwise, better to run the application local'y and reproduce the problem and use a debugger to find where the exception is throw.Alternatively, you can write information in a file when the problem occurs and look into that file to find the reason it occurs. Rootjazz item with same key has already been generated in one. When answering a question please:.

  • This module allows one to (re)generate OpenSSH private and public keys. It uses ssh-keygen to generate keys. One can generate rsa, dsa, rsa1, ed25519 or ecdsa private keys.

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

The proper way of generating an SSH key for a user in an Ansible playbook is to use generatesshkey keyword of the user module. That way the key is generated with the right permissions, and an existing key will not be overwritten (unless you wish to make it so):-hosts: yourhost - user. Whether this module should manage the directory of the authorized key file. If set to yes, the module will create the directory, as well as set the owner and permissions of an existing directory. Be sure to set managedir=no if you are using an alternate directory for authorizedkeys, as set with path, since you could lock yourself out of SSH. 1) First all the ansible variable is included 2) Using the ansible user module creating users from the user lists (users.yml) 3) Using the ansible authorizedkey adding the ssh public key to the created user home directory 4) Finally uploading the sudoers entry file which users should be granter sudoers access which doesn't. Run the playbook. Tried adding the user to the sudo group with the users module but Ansible reports it can't find the sudo group.

Whether this module should manage the directory of the authorized key file. If set, the module will create the directory, as well as set the owner and permissions of an existing directory. Be sure to set managedir=no if you are using an alternate directory for authorizedkeys, as set with path, since you could lock yourself out of SSH access.

Set

The ansible user will login via ssh-key, and the pass phrase for this user will need to be protected and trusted to a few individuals. Access to systems by the ansible user can be restricted to connections originating from a predetermined IP address (via the authorizedkeys file and/or Match options in sshdconfig ).

ParameterChoices/DefaultsComments
attributes
string
The attributes the resulting file or directory should have.
To get supported flags look at the man page for chattr on the target system.
This string should contain the attributes in the same order as the one displayed by lsattr.
The = operator is assumed as default, otherwise + or - operators need to be included in the string.
comment
added in 2.9
Provides a new comment to the public key. When checking if the key is in the correct state this will be ignored.
force
boolean
    Choices:
  • yes
Should the key be regenerated even if it already exists
group
string
Name of the group that should own the file/directory, as would be fed to chown.
mode
string
The permissions the resulting file or directory should have.
For those used to /usr/bin/chmod remember that modes are actually octal numbers. You must either add a leading zero so that Ansible's YAML parser knows it is an octal number (like 0644 or 01777) or quote it (like '644' or '1777') so Ansible receives a string and can do its own conversion from string into number.
Giving Ansible a number without following one of these rules will end up with a decimal number which will have unexpected results.
As of Ansible 1.8, the mode may be specified as a symbolic mode (for example, u+rwx or u=rw,g=r,o=r).
As of Ansible 2.6, the mode may also be the special string preserve.
When set to preserve the file will be given the same permissions as the source file.
owner
string
Name of the user that should own the file/directory, as would be fed to chown.
path
path / required
Name of the files containing the public and private key. The file containing the public key will have the extension .pub.
selevel
string
Default:
The level part of the SELinux file context.
This is the MLS/MCS attribute, sometimes known as the range.
When set to _default, it will use the level portion of the policy if available.
serole
string
When set to _default, it will use the role portion of the policy if available.
setype
string
When set to _default, it will use the type portion of the policy if available.
seuser
string
By default it uses the system policy, where applicable.
When set to _default, it will use the user portion of the policy if available.
size
integer
Specifies the number of bits in the private key to create. For RSA keys, the minimum size is 1024 bits and the default is 4096 bits. Generally, 2048 bits is considered sufficient. DSA keys must be exactly 1024 bits as specified by FIPS 186-2. For ECDSA keys, size determines the key length by selecting from one of three elliptic curve sizes: 256, 384 or 521 bits. Attempting to use bit lengths other than these three values for ECDSA keys will cause this module to fail. Ed25519 keys have a fixed length and the size will be ignored.
state
string
    Choices:
  • absent
Whether the private and public keys should exist or not, taking action if the state is different from what is stated.
type
string
    Choices:
  • dsa
  • rsa1
  • ecdsa
  • ed25519
The algorithm used to generate the SSH private key. rsa1 is for protocol version 1. rsa1 is deprecated and may not be supported by every version of ssh-keygen.
unsafe_writes
boolean
    Choices:
  • yes
Influence when to use atomic operation to prevent data corruption or inconsistent reads from the target file.
By default this module uses atomic operations to prevent data corruption or inconsistent reads from the target files, but sometimes systems are configured or just broken in ways that prevent this. One example is docker mounted files, which cannot be updated atomically from inside the container and can only be written in an unsafe manner.
This option allows Ansible to fall back to unsafe methods of updating files when atomic operations fail (however, it doesn't force Ansible to perform unsafe writes).
IMPORTANT! Unsafe writes are subject to race conditions and can lead to data corruption.

Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:
