Hello Folk,

Need one help in updating the key to sshd_config file depending on the OS version.

I ve folder structure like below

  • roles
  • sshd
  • tasks
    main.yml
  • vars
    main.yml
  • template
    main.yml

I want to update /template/main.yml like

{% if ansible_distribution_major_version == “8”}
Insert RHEL8 KEY etc/ssh/sshd_config
{% if ansible_distribution_major_version == “7”}
Inset RHEL7 KEY to etc/ssh/sshd_config
{% if ansible_distribution == “Amazon” }

Inset Amazon KEY to etc/ssh/sshd_config

{% endif %}

my tasks/main.yml

  • name : Update the key in sshd_config
    template:
    src: template/sshd.conf.j2
    dest: /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Can I write KEY in Vars/main.yml and update the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file. The above is my approach till now but please somebody help me how can I update the sshd_config file with the key.

Like in /vars/main.yml

RHEL8_KEY = xyz

RHEL7_KEY = abc
RHEL6_KEY = mno
AMAZON_KEY = amazon

Regards

Thank you for all your help always … I found the solution for the above

{% if ansible_distribution_major_version == “8”}
{{ RHEL8_KEY }}
{% if ansible_distribution_major_version == “7”}
{{ RHEL7_KEY }}
{% if ansible_distribution == “Amazon” }
{{ AMZN_KEY }}
{% endif %}
