No User/Group creation during Installation for non root User #142

gseyerl commented 2 years ago

Hi, thanks for the effort you put in those ansibel roles.

We are using an Identity Management System with centralized splunk user/group creation.

Therefore, it would be great for us to have a boolean variable (e.g. splunk_configure_nix) to turn off local user/group creation for non root users. The configure_facl.yml and configure_bash.yml roles would still be applyable in our usecase.

Best regards G

@gseyerl I would rather have ansible check if the user exists in the directory service, and based on that decide whether to create a local user or not. The getent module should be able to provide that information, have you tried using that to see if it'll work?

I think this might have been fixed by https://github.com/splunk/ansible-role-for-splunk/pull/143
