Role Name

role-common-local_os_password

Description

Change an operating system's local user password.

Requirements

Your target machines must be Linux.

Role Variables

This role requires variables defined in defaults/main.yml. Feel free to overwrite them as needed for your HashiCorp Vault setup for example in a group_vars or host_vars file.

• fqdn_reverse: A variable that contains the reversed fully qualified domain name for each host. For fully.qualified.domain.name this variable will equal name/domain/qualified/fully which we then use in our HashiCorp Vault path to retrieve a password and password salt per host and per user.
• reset_password_for_account: A list of usernames whose password we want changed. This defaults to:

  reset_password_for_account:
    - 'build'
    - 'root'
  

Dependencies

None.

Example Playbook

In your playbook.yml call it like so:

- name: 'Awesome playbook'
  hosts: all
  roles:
    - 'role-common-local_os_password'
