Hi,

Am trying to interface with LDAP on Linux and creating a new user. if uid doesn't exist, then it should ideally create one. However, am getting below error.

My ansible playbbok is as below:

- name: LDAP user check

hosts: LOCAL

tasks:

- name: check ldap entry

ldap_entry:

dn: cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com

objectClass:

- simpleSecurityObject

- organizationalRole

- name: Ensure an LDAP entry exists for uid

ldap_entry:

server_uri: ldaps://directory.example.com:636

bind_dn: cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com

bind_pw: XXXXXX

dn: uid=njain10,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com

objectClass:

- account

attributes:

uid: njain10

ERROR:

----------

TASK [Ensure an LDAP entry exists for uid] *****************************************************************************************************************************

An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use -vvv. The error was: NO_SUCH_OBJECT: {'matched': u'dc=example,dc=com', 'desc': u'No such object'}

fatal: [192.168.XXX.XXX]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "details": "{'matched': u'dc=example,dc=com', 'desc': u'No such object'}", "msg": "Entry action failed."}

Appreciate anyone's help here.

Regards,

Nikhil

Hi there.

I strongly suggest first try to create the user by hand, to discard errors such as wrong domain and so on.
