Hi @all,
I write a module that create local users on my boxes. Now I try to make
that module fully dynamic so that the user informations are passed to the
module as parameter like this:
class { 'local_users':
user => [
{ 'john' => { name => 'John Doe', home => '/export/home/john' } },
{ 'jane' => { name => 'Jane Doe', home => '/export/home/jane' } }
]
}
So far, so good. But now I would like to iterate through the user array and
create the user resource and I have no clue how this should be done
correctly. My approach is to call a define:
local_users::config::account { $local_users::user }
Which look like this:
define local_users::config::account (
$id = $title,
$name = undef,
$home = undef
) {
user { $id:
ensure => present,
comment => $name,
home => $home,
managehome => true,
password => '!!';
}
}
I guess the direction should be understandable, I would like to specify the
users and their attributes as a parameter. What I don't get so far is, do I
need one resource definition for each possible combination or is there a
way that only the parameter that contain values are used within the
resource type? Is the path in general the correct one that I use or is
there a better approach to get this done?
​Regards Thomas​
