Privilege Manager for Unix 7.3 - Ansible Guide

From GitHub

For the examples in this section please see ansible-Privilege Manager for Unix releases page to find the latest collection build artifact (*.tar.gz file) and use the URL to this file in place of the URL's shown below. The collection build artifact is under the 'Assets' section for each release (right click on the *.tar.gz file and select 'Copy link address' to copy URL).

To install from GitHub you can use the ansible-galaxy command to install the collection on your control node. See Ansible documentation for futher information.

Using ansible-galaxy command:

ansible-galaxy collection install https://github.com/OneIdentity/ansible-privilege-manager/releases/download/v0.1.0/oneidentity-privilege_manager-0.1.0.tar.gz

The collection can also be added to a project's requirements.yml file

---
collections:
- name: https://github.com/OneIdentity/ansible-privilege-manager/releases/download/v0.1.0/oneidentity-privilege_manager-0.1.0.tar.gz

and installed using the ansible-galaxy command. This method allows all required collections for a project to be specified in one place and installed with one command.

ansible-galaxy collection install -r requirements.yml

When used with Ansible Tower and Ansible AWX the collections in the project's requirements.yml file are automatically installed each time a project is run and there is no need to use the ansible-galaxy command.

Local build and install

For local build and installation, you can clone the Git repository, build the collection artifact, and install the locally built collection artifact. This would be useful for those wishing to extend or customize the collection.

  1. Clone the Git repository:

    git clone https://github.com/OneIdentity/ansible-privilege-manager.git
  2. Run a local build inside the collection using the ansible-galaxy command in the root directory of the cloned repository:

    cd ansible-privilege-manager
    ansible-galaxy collection build

    The build command will generate an Ansible Galaxy collection artifact with a tar.gz file extension, sample output will look like the following:

    Created collection for oneidentity.privilege_manager at /home/user/ansible-privilege-manager/oneidentity-privilege_manager-0.1.0.tar.gz
    The path shown above is just an example, the path to your build artifact will be in the root directory of the cloned repository.
  3. Install the locally-built collection artifact using the ansible-galaxy command to install the collection on your control node. See Ansible documentation for further information.

    Using ansible-galaxy command:

    ansible-galaxy collection install /home/user/ansible-privilege-manager/oneidentity-privilege_manager-0.1.0.tar.gz

    The collection can also be added to a project's requirements.yml file

    ---
    collections:
    - name: /home/user/ansible-privilege-manager/oneidentity-privilege_manager-0.1.0.tar.gz

    and installed using the ansible-galaxy command. This method allows all required collections for a project to be specified in one place and installed with one command.

    ansible-galaxy collection install -r requirements.yml

    When used with Ansible Tower and Ansible AWX the collections in the project's requirements.yml file are automatically installed each time a project is run and there is no need to use the ansible-galaxy command.
