Hi all,
I am having some difficulties in completing the task Ansible Create Users and Groups
. I must be missing a step along the way, but I cannot seem to figure out what that missing step is.
Here are the steps that I have taken so far:
# on jump host:
cd ~/playbooks
sudo vi ansible.cfg
# add
[defaults]
inventory = ./inventory
remote_user = thor
host_key_checking = False
vault_password_file = ./secrets/vault.txt
# Create encrypted vault password for admins and developers
ansible-vault encrypt_string dCV3szSGNA # admins
ansible-vault encrypt_string BruCStnMT5 # developers
sudo vi add_users.yml
# add
---
- hosts: stapp03
become: yes
gather_facts: no
var_files:
./data/users.yml
vars:
admin_pass: !vault |

# run playbook
sudo ansible-playbook -i inventory add_users.yml --vault-password-file=./secrets/vault.txt
Running the playbook generates this error:
[WARNING]: There was a vault format error: Vault format unhexlify error: Odd-length string fatal: [stapp02]: FAILED! => {"msg": "Vault format unhexlify error: Odd-length string"}
I am new to Ansible Vault and I am not sure how to proceed from here.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help spot what I may be missing
