Hi,

I am having issues using the SDK module ldap\_client\_create via the zapit module. In particular, trying to pass a list of LDAP servers seems to experience two issue which I can not figure out…

First, the SDK Doc I have shows the parameter should be a string type:

ldap\_client\_create  
Input Name: ldap\_servers  
Type: string optional  
Description: List of LDAP Servers to use for this configuration.

I’ve tried numerous ways to pass the data, but the current status is as follows:

…  
vars:  
ldapservers:

- [ldapserver1.xyz.com](http://ldapserver1.xyz.com)
- [ldapserver2.xyz.com](http://ldapserver2.xyz.com)
- [ldapserver3.xyz.com](http://ldapserver3.xyz.com)  
…
- name: LDAP Client Creation  
na\_ontap\_zapit:  
\<\<: \*login  
vserver: vserver-name  
zapi:  
ldap-client-create:  
ldap-client-config: vserver-name-cc  
ldap-servers: “{{ ldapservers }}”  
…  
register: output
- debug: var=output

I get the following error:

fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! =\> {“changed”: false, “errno”: “13115”, “msg”: “ZAPI failure: check errno and reason.”, “reason”: “Unexpected array element: [ldapserver1.xyz.com](http://ldapserver1.xyz.com); Unexpected array element: [ldapserver2.xyz.com](http://ldapserver2.xyz.com); Unexpected array element: [ldapserver3.xyz.com](http://ldapserver3.xyz.com)”, “response”: {}, “status”: “failed”}

I also found if I pass an IP address anyplace in the list of names, I get a different message:

An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use -vvv. The error was: ValueError: Invalid tag name ‘111.222.333.444’  
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! =\> {“changed”: false, “module\_stderr”: "Traceback (most recent call last)  
…

Does anyone have insight into how to properly pass this information?

Thanks.
