rackspace_user cookbook

recipe[rackspace_user::default] recipe does nothing - recipe[rackspace_user::rack_user] recipe creates a rack user and updates the authorized_keys file.

The additional_users recipe creates users based on a data structure in node['rackspace_user']['users'].

For example,

node['rackspace_user']['users']['kilroy'] = {
  "enabled" => true,  
  "sudo" => true,  
  "sudo_nopasswd" => true,  
  "manage_home" => true,  
  "password" => "$6$passwordhashasdf/.asdf./asdf./awe/awletr.lj/sldj",  
  "note" => "Kilroy was here",  
  "home" => "/home/kilroy",  
  "shell" => "/bin/bash",  
  "authorized_keys" => [  
    "AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQC3vjtkdo1eO9eM22+vTza2+fne0yW4WnCnX3zhvOZY4V3covLXWDQN/X04U7+DIMwYeKMr9JQrd4kwvzXA0o44851Vk4AG7rP/E0982HcZ7ScK+K8W2h73uwV75VgTWzqiyy/FxLVr0Ut41UGb6wTUfTOHqvVgiDuB7Hxum3++MRUlDm7vEjRuMyGQQ2ma8fVFUgwL+5R00+reOJ2/+C2UJcwrKINwu/lBQkD6WBLxfu+Aw4sHI+LRzjO8pSmCletVwIA4yWONWPvKO34cxccmhxcjHTrwgVoUeBLOkP9nUT7MJA5W9fcA+7jt18d+SsGaj4b4u5skShaMAicgfnTF"

}

Requirements

rackspace_sudo cookbook is required, minitest-handler is recommended to execute the tests in ./files/default/tests/minitest/

Usage

• recipe[rackspace_user::default] - By default this cookbook will do nothing.
• recipe[rackspace_user::rack_user] - rack_user.rb will make a passwordless ssh user named rack using the ssh keys from a remote file.
• recipe[rackspace_user::additional_users] - additional_users.rb will create regular users based off of a data hash.

Attributes

node['rackspace_user']['users'] - hash of users, keys are usernames. node['rackspace_user']['users']["#{user}"] - user to create
node['rackspace_user']['users']["#{user}"]['remote_file'] - remote file that contains ssh keys
node['rackspace_user']['users']["#{user}"]['shell'] - user's shell
node['rackspace_user']['users']["#{user}"]['home_folder'] - user's home folder

node['rackspace_user']['users']["#{user}"]['enabled'] - Boolean true/false, determines if the user is actually created.
node['rackspace_user']['users']["#{user}"]['manage_home'] - Boolean true/false, determines if the home directory is created.
node['rackspace_user']['users']["#{user}"]['sudo'] - Boolean true/false, true enables sudo, false/nil disables sudo. node['rackspace_user']['users']["#{user}"]['sudo_nopasswd'] - Boolean true/false, if sudo == true and sudo_nopasswd == true, passwordless sudo is enabled. false/nil disables passwordless sudo. node['rackspace_user']['users']["#{user}"]['password'] - This takes a password hash for the user's login. node['rackspace_user']['users']["#{user}"]['note'] - This fills the user comment field. node['rackspace_user']['users']["#{user}"]['home'] - Sets the user's home directory and creates it. node['rackspace_user']['users']["#{user}"]['shell'] - Sets the user's shell. node['rackspace_user']['users']["#{user}"]['authorized_keys'] - This is an array of available ssh public keys for this user.
