Hi,

Am trying to interface with LDAP on Linux and creating a new user. if uid doesn’t exist, then it should ideally create one. However, am getting below error.

My ansible playbbok is as below:

- name: LDAP user check  
hosts: LOCAL  
tasks:

- name: check ldap entry  
ldap\_entry:  
dn: cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com  
objectClass:

- simpleSecurityObject

- organizationalRole

- name: Ensure an LDAP entry exists for uid  
ldap\_entry:  
server\_uri: ldaps://directory.example.com:636  
bind\_dn: cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com  
bind\_pw: XXXXXX  
dn: uid=njain10,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com  
objectClass:

- account  
attributes:  
uid: njain10

ERROR:

Hi there.

I strongly suggest first try to create the user by hand, to discard errors such as wrong domain and so on.

Cheers.
