I'm attempting to develop an Ansible playbook that uses the getent module to help manage various user accounts. I would like to be able to access the various values like UID, GID, password, etc. (what I think is a Python dictionary -- but am not sure that is accurate).
How do I read/access if a password is lockecd (e.g. ! or !!)?
How do I read/access the UID or GID for say this account:
ntp:x:38:38::/etc/ntp:/sbin/nologin
into a variable to be used for the next task?
Here is current playbook task so far. Can this be done if a playbook?
- name: "getent variables"
getent:
database: passwd
key: ntp #root #uid
split: ':'
#fail_key:
# register: getent_passwd
- debug:
var: getent_passwd

Getent results will normally be added as facts to the hosts facts.
Keep in mind that the information about gid/uid/etc are in a separate database from information about passwords.
# ansible localhost -m getent -a 'database=passwd key=root'
localhost | SUCCESS =>
"ansible_facts":
"getent_passwd":
"root": [
"x",
"0",
"0",
"root",
"/root",
"/bin/bash"
]
,
"changed": false
# ansible localhost -m getent -a 'database=shadow key=root'
localhost | SUCCESS =>
"ansible_facts":
"getent_shadow":
