Is possible to change own password from non-root account ?
I found example, but it is not working. I did not find any info about ansible_ssh_newpass variable.

Playbook

  • hosts: my
    tasks:
  • shell: ‘printf “%s\n” oldpass newpass newpass | passwd’

Iventory
[my]
myexample.com

[my:vars]
ansible_connection=ssh
ansible_ssh_user=myuser
ansible_ssh_pass=oldpass
ansible_ssh_newpass=newpass
ansible_ssh_common_args=‘-o StrictHostKeyChecking=no’

EDIT:
I found that shell: ‘printf “%s\n” oldpass newpass newpass | passwd’ actually works only when your password is not expired, and if you already logged on the server.
Can anyone confirm it? Is there any proper way to change it? Thanks

The variable ansible_ssh_newpass is not something Ansible knows about nor supports.
