I just wonder if there is an ansible module for arubaos-cx to create local admin users via ansible, similar to cisco.nxos.nxos_user.

Thank you.

I tried to post the message last night, but I could not find it anywhere, so I post it again.

Thank you Ti.

I finally got some time to test the aoscx_command ( show version and show run) via ssh.  While I was able to run the simple playbook via user/password. I failed to run the playbook via ssh public key.  

I can login into the switch with my public key, but failed with simple playbook.  I also noticed that the command line option of -u, does not seem to work, it didn't overwrite the user defined in the inventory.

Is there anything I need to do for ssh-public-key authentication to work on ansible aoscx

I think that I figured out the issue. I need to start a "ssh-agent", even though, the test user private-key is passphraseless.  After I added the key into ssh-agent, I was able to run the playbook with ssh key authentication.

I create a local admin account with aoscx_config, but I failed to run the "no user xyz" with aoscx_config,  it is expecting to type "y/n", how would I do that with aoscx_config?

Thank you.

You're going to want to use the "prompt:" and "answer:" parameters in the aoscx_command module you can see an example here: https://github.com/aruba/aoscx-ansible-workflows/blob/main/copy_config_using_cli_prompt.yml

An example could look like so:

    - name: Enter config mode and remove User
      aoscx_command:
        commands:
          - command: config
          - command: no user test
            check_all: True
            prompt:
              - '.*\(y\/n\)\?.*'
            answer:
              - y

I create a local admin account with aoscx_config, but I failed to run the "no user xyz" with aoscx_config,  it is expecting to type "y/n", how would I do that with aoscx_config?
