Parameters

Parameter

Comments

ad_user

Not required for local users

Choices:

  • false ← (default)

  • true

api

boolean

added in everpure.flashblade 1.21.0

Define whether to create an API token for this user

An existing token is replaced, so this is not idempotent.

Token can be exposed using the debug module

Choices:

  • false ← (default)

  • true

api_token

string

FlashBlade API token for admin privileged user.

clear_lock

boolean

added in everpure.flashblade 1.8.0

Clear user lockout flag

Choices:

  • false ← (default)

  • true

client_id

string

added in everpure.flashblade 1.26.0

ID of the API Client that issues the identity token.

Used with private_key_file.

disable_warnings

boolean

added in everpure.flashblade 1.18.0

Disable insecure certificate warnings

Choices:

  • false ← (default)

  • true

fb_url

string

FlashBlade management IP address or Hostname.

id_token

string

added in everpure.flashblade 1.26.0

A pre-signed JWT to authenticate with, as an alternative to api_token.

The token is exchanged by the array for a short-lived access token.

Requires a matching API Client to be registered on the array (see everpure.flashblade.purefb_apiclient).

issuer

string

added in everpure.flashblade 1.26.0

The API Client’s trusted identity issuer registered on the array.

Used with private_key_file.

key_id

string

added in everpure.flashblade 1.26.0

Key ID of the API Client that issues the identity token.

Used with private_key_file.

name

string / required

The name of the user account

old_password

string

If changing an existing password, you must provide the old password for security

password

string

Password for the local user.

private_key_file

string

added in everpure.flashblade 1.26.0

Path to the PEM RSA private key used to sign an identity token, as an alternative to api_token.

Requires client_id, key_id, issuer and username.

private_key_password

string

added in everpure.flashblade 1.26.0

Password protecting private_key_file, if encrypted.

public_key

string

added in everpure.flashblade 1.8.0

SSH public key for the user in OpenSSH authorized_keys format, for example ssh-rsa AAAA... comment or ssh-ed25519 AAAA... comment.

The array accepts at most two keys, one per line.

PEM blocks (-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----) are rejected. That is the key format of everpure.flashblade.purefb_apiclient; the array treats every line of a PEM block as a separate SSH key.

Keys are compared by type and key material, so a different comment or whitespace is not a change. When the array masks the stored key (reported as ****) only its presence can be checked; clear it with "" before setting a different key.

An empty string removes the user’s public key.

role

string

added in everpure.flashblade 1.21.0

Sets the local user’s access level to the system

A new local user is created with readonly when no role is given.

When omitted for an existing user the current role is left unchanged.

Choices:

  • "readonly"

  • "ops_admin"

  • "storage_admin"

  • "array_admin"

state

string

added in everpure.flashblade 1.21.0

Create, delete or update local user account

Choices:

  • "absent"

  • "present" ← (default)

timeout

string

added in everpure.flashblade 1.21.0

The duration of API token validity.

Valid values are weeks (w), days(d), hours(h), minutes(m) and seconds(s).

The default of "0" creates a token that does not expire.

Default: "0"

username

string

added in everpure.flashblade 1.26.0

Username the issued token should be granted to.

Must be a valid user on the array. Used with private_key_file.

Notes

Note

  • You must set PUREFB_URL and PUREFB_API environment variables if fb_url and api_token arguments are not passed to the module directly

  • Token-based authentication (id_token, or private_key_file with client_id, key_id, issuer and username) may be used as an alternative to api_token, and requires a matching API Client registered on the array via everpure.flashblade.purefb_apiclient
