initial commit for shield. users and roles only

[bilsch]

I am not sure if this is something you guys will want to merge directly. For now it is working for my specific use case.

It does not cover much for shield, only user addition and role assignment/password at the time of creation. If the user password changes this manifest will not cover the case. Ditto if roles change.

Mainly I'm looking to see something along the lines discussed in #433 and #399.

The comment discussed in #433 looks to have some kind of dependency on the plugin manager. I started a thread to discuss what I'm trying to accomplish. There seems to be a disconnect in the instances logic and how plugin works/expects things.

Can one of the admins verify this patch?

@bilsch thank you very much for the contribution.
I've decided not to merge this in the current Elasticsearch module but i will be starting a shield module pretty soon ( initial version is almost done ) where i will add user management eventually as well.
Most likely this will be done via other ways then invoking the binaries.

[bilsch]

@electrical No problem. Looking forward to your module.

I was thinking of refactoring the user add / manip as its kinda naive right now - only adds a user. No password validation and the role management only occurs at user creation. Feel free to ping me - happy to help and/or test things out.

@electrical can you publish the shield module before you leave?

[bilsch]

@electrical @cdenneen curious what ever happened to the shield puppet module you guys are working on?

[cdenneen]

@bilsch I wasn't working on this. @electrical was but left es so no idea if its still coming. Might want to try to write one or redo your PR with new maintainer

[cdenneen]

@tylerjl are you able to push shield repo publicly, even if it is just a pre-release?

[tylerjl]

@cdenneen if I'm able to, then yep, I'll get it out for early feedback.
