Openldap authentication for centos and debian based distros, the goal is to setup sssd, pam and openldap_client libs in a way that can be used by any distro to authenticate against a working openldap server. This assumes you used the role openldap-server to setup your server or cluster or servers
Any pre-requisites that may not be covered by Ansible itself or the role should be mentioned here. For instance, if the role uses the EC2 module, it may be a good idea to mention in this section that the boto package is required.
A description of the settable variables for this role should go here, including any variables that are in defaults/main.yml, vars/main.yml, and any variables that can/should be set via parameters to the role. Any variables that are read from other roles and/or the global scope (ie. hostvars, group vars, etc.) should be mentioned here as well.
A set of tests is available for this role and will test for the following scenarios:
- Vagrant running Centos or Debian
- Docker running Centos or Debian
Different distributions have different sets of tests to account for different services, file locations etc, vagrant can be used for development testing while docker scenarios will be used for CI/CD pipelines (travis only for now ) The tests can be used like this :
molecule test --scenario-name vagrant-debian
molecule test --scenario-name vagrant-centos
The reason for choosing Centos and Debian, is just the fact that these seem to be influence several other distros that follow the same packaging and guidelines, for this reason implementation and tests aim to be as generic as possible
Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:
- hosts: servers
roles:
- { role: openldap_client, x: 42 }
