ldap_attr stops processing entries and hangs the playbook run

[Asil Carlin]

Hi,

I'm seemingly having an issue with the ldap_attr module - it just stops processing ldap atrributes. I'm defining multiple dictionaries then adding them to a list of lists to process them, e.g:

# VARS

# Define list of attributes to process

ds_ldap_config:

  - "{{ ds_nsslapd_config }}"

  - "{{ ds_ldbm_config }}"

  - "{{ ds_nsslapd_useroot}}"

ds_nsslapd_config:

  dn: 'cn=config'

  attr:

    - { name: nsslapd-accesslog-logging-enabled, value: 'off' }

    - { name: nsslapd-accesslog-logmaxdiskspace, value: 1000 }

ds_ldbm_config:

  dn: 'cn=config,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config'

  attr:

    - { name: nsslapd-dbcachesize, value: 200000000 }

ds_nsslapd_useroot:

  dn: 'cn=userRoot,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config'

  attr:

    - { name: nsslapd-cachememsize, value: 200000000 }

The task looks like this:

- name: Configure LDAP attributes

  ldap_attr:

    dn: "{{ item.0.dn }}"

    name: "{{ item.1.name }}"

    values: "{{ item.1.value }}"

    state: exact

    params: "{{ ldap_auth }}"

  environment: "{{ ds_shell_env }}"

  notify: restart_dirsrv

  with_subelements:

    - "{{ ds_ldap_config | default ([]) }}"

    - attr

The config has many entries. At some point whilst processing the loop it just stops. I've tried moving the order of the lists of lists, this just changes at what item the loop freezes.

Not really sure how to debug.

-vvvv shows nothing, ANSIBILE_DEBUG doesn't really provide any clues and the session has to be interrupted.

Suggestions welcome.

There was a replication issue - fixed that and it's now working.
