I am trying to use ansible loop until the condition is met. I can use until if the output is only single line, however if the output is multiple lines, I will need to use stdout_lines but fail to do so.

If output is single line:

- name: check on sync status
  shell: some command
  register: sync_status
  until: sync_status.stdout == 'SSUS'

If output is multiple lines, then I try to use stdout_lines

- name: check on sync status
  shell: some command 
  register: sync_status
  until: item.stdout_lines == 'SSUS'
  with_items: "{{ sync_status }}"

but I got variable undefined:

fatal: [xxxxxxx]: FAILED! => {
    "msg": "'sync_status' is undefined"
}

I don't want to do it on seperate task because then the sync_status is registered on previous task , and I will be comparing the old status instead of the current status.

Kindly assist.

Hi I am trying to use a very simple sasl authentication. I have been testing the method here but still encounter error.

my server is a fresh install server. And the command I run:

#  saslpasswd2 -c -u `postconf -h mydomain` user1 
Password: 
Again (for verification):
    
# testsaslauthd -u [email protected] -p 123123 
0: NO "authentication failed"
    
# testsaslauthd -u user1 -r iz.local -p 123123
0: NO "authentication failed"
    
# sasldblistusers2 
[email protected]: userPassword
    
# cat /etc/sasl2/smtpd.conf 
pwcheck_method: auxprop 
auxprop_plugin: sasldb 
mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN CRAM-MD5 DIGEST-MD5 NTLM

My end goal is to authenticate postfix during sending email using sasl. However as you can see I can't even authenticate it standalone

Error log:

saslauthd[15846]: : auth failure: [[email protected]] [service=imap] [realm=] [mech=pam] [reason=PAM auth error]
saslauthd[15849]: : auth failure: [user=user1] [service=imap] [realm=iz.local] [mech=pam] [reason=PAM auth error]

Appreciate if any helps. thanks

i need some help on configure multiple cloud_init_nics using variable files. Here is my variable files for example: files/dict

vm:
  all:
    - name: rhel7
      hostname: rhel7
      dns: "8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4"
      nic:
        - nic_name: eth0
          ip: "10.10.10.10"
          netmask: "255.255.255.0"
          gateway: "10.10.10.1"
          bootproto: "static"
          onboot: "true"
        - nic_name: "eth1"
          ip: "10.10.10.11"
          netmask: "255.255.255.0"
          bootproto: "static"
          onboot: "true"

    - name: rhel8
      hostname: rhel8
      dns: "8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4"
      nic:
        - ip: "10.10.10.12"
          netmask: "255.255.255.0"
          gateway: "10.10.10.1"
          nic_name: "ens7"
          bootproto: "static"
          onboot: "true"

Each vm could have from minimum 1 nic to N number of nic card.

Here is my playbook(obviously didn't work), because it will loop the second nic as a different tasks.

- name: include vards
  include_vars: files/dict

- name: readvar
  ovirt_vm:
    cloud_init_nics:
    - nic_name: "{{item.nic|json_query('[*].nic_name') }}"
      nic_boot_protocol: "{{item.nic|json_query('[*].ip') }}"
    cloud_init_persist: no
    wait: false
  with_items: "{{vm.all}}"

From the documentation , it seems like it need multiple "- nic_name" under the same task

  cloud_init_nics:
    - nic_name: eth0
      nic_boot_protocol: dhcp
    - nic_name: eth1
      nic_boot_protocol: static
      nic_ip_address: 10.34.60.86
      nic_netmask: 255.255.252.0

Because each vm has different number of nic , so I cant use the example from the documentation.

So my question would be: how do i loop the cloud_init_nics multiple times but still running as 1 task? Is that possible? if not is there any idea that i should look up to?

is it possible to register item.all.nic as a variable, then cloud_init_nics: {{ var }} ? Thanks
