* Add shared functionality to return list of security group IDs from list of security group names - this functionality can be used by nearly all ec2 modules
* Improved doc string for get_ec2_security_group_ids_from_names function
* Clarify exception handling in EOS
Also modify to EOS to standardize modules. It makes vimdiff a lot less angry
* Move IOS exception handling into Cli
* Move IOS-XR exception handling into Cli
* Move JUNOS exception handling into Cli
* Move NXOS exception handling into Cli
And reorganize to make it match the other modules
* Move OpenSwitch exception handling into Cli
More speculative restructuring here
added warnings for invalid kwargs
sniff supported authtypes (for new pywinrm)
use default authtypes (for old pywinrm)
error on unsupported authtype
allow no username/password to be specified (kerb SSO)
tested w/ old and new pywinrm
hacky CLIXML parsing of stderr
* HTTPError can also function as a non-exceptional file-like return value (the same thing that urlopen() returns)
* HTTPError - adding response to info dictionnary
* HTTPError - adding response to info dictionnary
* HTTPError - adding body response to info dictionnary
* use list of possible directories directly instead of checking distribution info
* this could fail if someone has keys in one of the other directories, but there could also be custom ssh key directories, which
are not checked at all
* this is work towards separating Facts from Distribution in facts.py
Ensure that initial setup in creating the key directory for ansible
accelerate mode keys, and generation/storage of the key for a
particular host are completed in a multiprocess safe manner.
Creating directories/files and then assigning permissions and contents
to them means that paths may exist and satisfy the os.path.exists()
method in python for other processes before they are usable.
Use a combination of locking around operations with use of unique named
files and an OS file system move to ensure that the conditions of
checking whether a file or directory exists, where it is potentially
created by another thread, will only succeed when the file has both the
correct contents and permissions.
Fixes#13850
Previously we were first checking the fail/run state of the child
state for tasks/rescue/always portions of the block. Instead we are now
always recursively iterating over the child state and then evaluating
whether the child state is failed or complete before changing the failed/
run state within the current block.
Fixes#14324
This update will attempt to guess the file format based on the template
extension if the format argument isnt set. It will also set the commit
comment to the task name if the comment isnt' explicitly defined.
This adds a check to validate the arugment for config_format kwarg in
get_config. If the specified format is not a valid option, the shared
module will call fail_json
Netconf support is provided using the junos-eznc library and the shared
module depends on junos-eznc to be installed on the local Ansible host. This
commit also adds changes to the netcfg library to handle receiving messages
over netconf.
To use netconf, specify transport=netconf for junos module. Be sure that
netconf has been enabled on the remote device.
Which we're use on a case-by-case basis if we find people were actually
using comma-separated strings for list values outside of hosts. Support
for doing so is now deprecated and users should instead use the full
YAML syntax for lists of values.
Fixes#15291
* Don't rely on username to check for root privileges
The SSH username isn't a reliable way to check if we've got root privileges on
the remote system (think "toor" on FreeBSD). Because of this check, Ansible
previously tried to use the fallback solutions for granting file access (ACLs,
world-readable files) even on systems where it had root privileges when the
remote username didn't match the literal string "root".
Instead of running checks on the username, just try using `chmod` in any case
and fall back to the previous "non-root" solution when that fails.
* Fail if we are root and changing ownership failed
Since this code is security sensitive we document exactly the expected
permissions of the temporary files once this function has run. That way
if a flaw is found in one end-result we know more precisely what scenarios
are affected and which are not.
