Add option to specify appliance login directory or search more than just the default login directory

[liamwh]

Scenario/Intent

Specify local username and password to authenticate to OneView appliance using hpe.oneview.oneview_server_hardware_facts but it has the default login directory set to AD.

Environment Details

• Module Version: 6.0.0
• Ansible Version: 2.10.7
• OneView Appliance Version: 5.50.00-0426657
• OneView Client API Version: not explicitly specifying as part of module
• Python Version: 3.8.5
• python-hpOneView SDK Version: 6.0.0
• Platform: latest ubuntu docker container

Steps to Reproduce

Expected Result

Facts gathered successfully. Changing default login directory to local makes the module work. Specifying Local\ or Local\ in front of the username does not work.

Actual Result

Hi @liamwh, have you tried to login using the local credentials in the oneview appliance from browser..? Can you confirm if you are able to login using both local and AD credentials in browser.

Hi @liamwh, have you tried to login using the local credentials in the oneview appliance from browser..? Can you confirm if you are able to login using both local and AD credentials in browser.

Yes, I am able to login via the local directory. The user has infrastructure administrator permission. Changing the default login directory on OneView to Local allows this module to work.

Hi @liamwh, We have provided an option to specify the login domain in the config file but unfortunately we forgot to mention that parameter in the oneview_config.json file. We will fix it soon. Meanwhile can you please try adding authLoginDomain in the credentials section of config file as mentioned below.

{
  "ip": "<oneview_ip>",
  "credentials": {
    "userName": "<username>",
    "password": "<password>",
    "authLoginDomain": "<login_directory>"
  },
  "image_streamer_ip": "<i3s_ip>",
  "api_version": 2600
}

or please add the auth_login_domain in your playbook args as shown below

- name: Gather facts about an existing Server Hardware
  hpe.oneview.oneview_server_hardware_facts:
    hostname: "{{ management_card.appliance }}"
    username: mylocalusername
    password: mylocaluserpassword
    auth_login_domain: "LOCAL"
    name: "{{ management_card.hostname }}"
  delegate_to: localhost
  register: hardware_facts

Please let us know if it helps.

Thanks @VenkateshRavula!

Adding auth_login_domain: "LOCAL" to the yaml causes the module to work. I advise updating the collection documentation to make a note of this.

Thanks again! 👍
