Hello,
I have setup scripts / modules that allow adding ssh users courtesy of
the Puppet Wiki. I have defined my users in a central file called
'sshusers.pp' and am importing that file into my 'nodes.pp' file. One
question am I trying to resolve is how to add multiple users without
having to specify the user names.
Keep in mind that the ssh::auth class from the Puppet wiki defines
almost everything virtually, so as I understand, I have to 'realize'
those users that are defined. Here is an example:
from /etc/puppet/manifests/sshusers.pp, I define a user:
users::define_ssh {'jspies':
name => 'Justin Spies',
email => 'jus...@gmail.com',
userid => 1001
}
users::define_ssh {'jdoe':
name => 'John Doe,
email => 'j...@doe.com',
userid => 1002
}
in /etc/puppet/manifests/nodes.pp, I then realize the users and call a
custom defined code block (users::create) to create the users, create
the user home directories, create the SSH keys, and copy the SSH keys
to the users authorized_keys file on the server:
# Realize all users that are a member of the 'users' group
User <| group == 'ssh' |> { ensure => present }
# Actually create the users and their SSH keys
#users::create{User <| group = 'ssh' |>: ensure => present }
users::create{['jspies', 'lspies']: ensure => present }
So I'd like to avoid having to type the user titles in the call to
users::create. Is there a way to do this using the 'User <| group ==
'ssh' |>' syntax to select what I want? Or do I need to just define an
array in the sshusers.pp file and pass the array to the users::create?
I'd like to use dynamic logic rather than having to code and update an
array every time we add/remove users.
Thanks!
