Hi,

I use ‘with\_ldap’ role from lookup\_module. It seems that my playbook doesn’t see it. There is an error:

ERROR! ‘with\_ldap’ is not valid attribute for a Task

Can anybody help me, please ?

My task:

- name: List group members  
debug:  
msg: “group member {{ item }}”  
with\_ldap:
- context: group\_members
- ldapgroup

Thanks !  
BR

Hi,

I’m not sure which module you’re referring to, but in your playbook you use ‘debug’ module. Also the ‘with\_ldap’ section is not indented correctly - if it’s a parameter to a module it has to be indented more then the name of the module you’re using.

kind regards

Since those look like plugins (and not modules) - copy the files from filter\_plugins and lookup\_plugins to the directories in your setup (if you don’t have those dirs create them at the same level as your playbook).
