36.15. Using Ansible to give an IdM group access to the sound card on an IdM client


You can use the ansible-freeipa idview and idoverridegroup modules to make Identity Management (IdM) or Active Directory (AD) users members of the local audio group on an IdM client. This grants the IdM or AD users privileged access to the sound card on the host.

The procedure uses the example of the idview_for_host01 ID view to which the audio group ID override is added with the GID of 63, which corresponds to the GID of local audio groups on RHEL hosts. The idview_for_host01 ID view is applied to an IdM client named host01.idm.example.com.

Prerequisites

  • You have configured your Ansible control node to meet the following requirements:

    • You are using Ansible version 2.15 or later.
    • You have installed the ansible-freeipa package.
    • The example assumes that in the ~/MyPlaybooks/ directory, you have created an Ansible inventory file with the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) of the IdM server.
    • The example assumes that the secret.yml Ansible vault stores your ipaadmin_password and that you have access to a file that stores the password protecting the secret.yml file.
  • The target node, that is the node on which the freeipa.ansible_freeipa module is executed, is part of the IdM domain as an IdM client, server or replica.+

  1. On your Ansible control node, create an give-idm-group-access-to-sound-card-on-idm-client.yml playbook with the following tasks:

    ---
    - name: Playbook to give IdM group access to sound card on IdM client
      hosts: ipaserver
      become: false
    
      tasks:
      - name: Ensure the audio group exists in IdM
        ipagroup:
          ipaadmin_password: "{{ ipaadmin_password }}"
          name: audio
    
      - name: Ensure idview_for_host01 exists and is applied to host01.idm.example.com
        ipaidview:
          ipaadmin_password:  "{{ ipaadmin_password }}"
          name: idview_for_host01
          host: host01.idm.example.com
    
      - name: Add an override for the IdM audio group with GID 63 to idview_for_host01
        ipaidoverridegroup:
          ipaadmin_password: "{{ ipaadmin_password }}"
          idview: idview_for_host01
          anchor: audio
          GID: 63
  2. Save the file.
  3. Run the Ansible playbook. Specify the playbook file, the file storing the password protecting the secret.yml file, and the inventory file:

    $ ansible-playbook --vault-password-file=password_file -v -i inventory give-idm-group-access-to-sound-card-on-idm-client.yml

Verification

  1. On an IdM client, obtain IdM administrator’s credentials:

    $ kinit admin
    Password:
  2. Create a test IdM user:

    $ ipa user-add testuser --first test --last user --password
    User login [tuser]:
    Password:
    Enter Password again to verify:
    ------------------
    Added user "tuser"
    ------------------
  3. Add the user to the IdM audio group:

    $ ipa group-add-member --tuser audio
  4. Log in to host01.idm.example.com as tuser:

    $ ssh tuser@host01.idm.example.com
  5. Verify the group membership of the user:

    $ id tuser
    uid=702801456(tuser) gid=63(audio) groups=63(audio)
