Changepw

Shell script that uses and aids ansible Use changepw to change a local user password on a set of hosts.

These scripts work together and must be run in order.

prep.sh makes a custom inventory file with all the hosts from the vcenter_matrix.csv list that can be ansible-pinged. If a system is unavailable for any reason, it will be excluded. This script is not strictly necessary, but if you omit it you need to prepare the inventory-changepw.yml inventory file.

changepw.sh has a hardcoded username in it but prompts for the new password and its confirmation. It saves those values to a vault file and then loops through the hard-coded sites and runs the ansible playbook that changes the local user password.

Usage

cd /etc/ansible/shell/changepw
./prep.sh
./generate.sh

Dependencies

This tool depends on the output of the vcenter_matrix tool, so run it first.
