logon_policy_for_unix_host Role

The logon_policy_for_unix_host role creates CSV and HTML reports that list Active Directory users that have been explicitly granted log on permissions for the Unix hosts.

Variables

All of the variables shown below have a default value but can be overridden to suit your environment. Variable overriding can be done in playbooks, inventories, from the command line using the -e switch with the ansible-playbook command, or from Ansible Tower and AWX. See Ansbile documentation for further information.

Facts generation

Facts generation variable defaults for all roles are set by variables in the common role and can be overriden for all roles by setting the appropriate common role variable. See common role facts generation variables in the common role.

• logon_policy_for_unix_host_facts_generate enables facts generation. Implicitely enabled if logon_policy_for_unix_host_reports_generate is set.

  Default value is:

  logon_policy_for_unix_host_facts_generate: "{{ facts_generate }}"

Report generation

Report generation variable defaults for all roles are set by variables in the common role and can be overriden for all roles by setting the appropriate common role variable. See common role report generation variables in the common role.

• logon_policy_for_unix_host_reports_generate enables report generation. Reports are generated at the end of a logon_policy_for_unix_host run for all hosts.

  Default value is:

  logon_policy_for_unix_host_reports_generate: "{{ reports_generate }}"

• logon_policy_for_unix_host_reports_backup enables backup of prior reports by renaming them with the date and time they were generated so that the latest reports do not override the previous reports.

  Default value is:

  logon_policy_for_unix_host_reports_backup: "{{ reports_backup }}"
  

• logon_policy_for_unix_host_reports_host sets the host on which the reports should be generated.

  Default value is:

  logon_policy_for_unix_host_reports_host: "{{ reports_host }}"

• logon_policy_for_unix_host_reports is a list of dictionaries that define the reports to be generated. The default value creates a CSV and HTML report using the templates included with the logon_policy_for_unix_host role.

  Default value is:

  logon_policy_for_unix_host_reports:
    - src:  logon_policy_for_unix_host_report.csv.j2
      dest: logon_policy_for_unix_host_report.csv
    - src:  logon_policy_for_unix_host_report.html.j2
      dest: logon_policy_for_unix_host_report.html

  The src key for each list entry is the report template file on the Ansible control node. With a relative path Ansible will look in the logon_policy_for_unix_host role template directory. Use a absolute path to speciy templates located elsewhere on the Ansible control node.

  The dest key for each list entry is the report file on the machine specified in logon_policy_for_unix_host_reports_host. If logon_policy_for_unix_host_reports_host is set to the Ansible control node a relative path can be used and it will be relative to the directory from which the playbook is run. For other hosts, an absolute path must be used. In either case the containing directory must exist.

Plugins

The logon_policy_for_unix_host role contains a plugin to support operation of the role:

• get_logon_policy_for_unix_host module returns users that are allowed access to the Unix host using the Safeguard Authentication Services vastool binary list users-allowed command.

Usage

Below is a sample playbook using the logon_policy_for_unix_host role.

---

- hosts: all
  gather_facts: false

  # The variables you would most likely want/need to override have been included
  vars:

    # Facts
    logon_policy_for_unix_host_facts_generate: true

    # Reports
    logon_policy_for_unix_host_reports_generate: true
    logon_policy_for_unix_host_reports_backup: false

  roles:
    - name: oneidentity.authentication_services.logon_policy_for_unix_host
