# Ansible LDAP Inventory Plugin

This plugin was designed to query active directory and get a list of machines to use as an inventory.
Groups are auto generated off of OU structure and optionally group membership. 
So for example `cn=computer1,ou=servers,ou=windows,dc=mycompany,dc=local` would create the following inventory :
```
    "all": {
        "children": [
            "windows"
        ]
    },
    "windows": {
        "children": [
            "windows_servers"
        ]
    },
    "windows_servers": {
        "hosts": [
            "computer1"
        ]
    }
```

## Prerequisites

The ldap inventory works with python2 and python3.

**The following package is required :**
* [python-ldap](https://www.python-ldap.org/en/latest/)

It can be installed in one of the following ways :

*pip install -r requirements.txt*

or

*pip install python-ldap*

## Configuration Example
Place the file `ldap_inventory.py` into your base folder under `.\plugins\inventory\`

Create a file that ends with `ldap_inventory.yaml` in your base directory.
It is recommended you vault the entire file if storing passwords in plaintext(until ansible supports vaulted strings in config files) `ansible-vault edit ldap_inventory.yaml`

>`LDAP_USER`, `LDAP_PASS` and `SEARCH_OU` environmental variables can be used instead of including them in the configuration file. This is helpful if using the plugin in [Ansible Tower/AWX](https://github.com/ansible/awx).

Example `ldap_inventory.yaml` :
```yaml
---
plugin: ldap_inventory
domain: 'ldaps://adserver.domain.local:636'
username: user@domain.local
password: "password"
search_ou: "OU=Servers,OU=Windows,DC=domain,DC=local"
```

## Parameters
### `account_age`
> LDAP attribute filter for the lastLogonTimestamp field. This value is generally updated every 14 days. Timestamps older indicate inactive computer accounts. Setting to 0 disables check. Value is in days.

* default: `0`

### `auth_type`
> Defines the type of authentication used when connecting to Active Directory (LDAP). When using `simple`, the **`username`** and **`password`** parameters must be set. When using `gssapi`, run **kinit** before running Ansible to get a valid Kerberos ticket.

* allowed values: `simple`, `gssapi`
* default: `simple`

### `domain`
> The domain to search in to retrieve inventory. This could either be a Windows domain name visible to the Ansible controller from DNS or a specific domain controller FQDN. Supports either just the domain/host name or an explicit LDAP URI with the domain/host already filled in. If the URI is set, **`port`** and **`scheme`** are ignored.
* required: true

**examples:**
```yaml
domain: "local.com"
```
```yaml
domain: "dc1.local.com"
```
```yaml
domain: "ldaps://dc1.local.com:636"
```
```yaml
domain: "ldap://dc1.local.com"
```
### `group_membership`
>Enables parsing the ldap groups that the computer account is a memberOf. Groups are returned lower case.
* default: `"False"`

**example:**
```yaml
group_membership: True
```

### `group_membership_filter`
>When we query for Group membership of the computer object, this allows you to only include names that match the pattern provided.
* default: `""`

**example:**
```yaml
group_membership: "security-*"
```

### `exclude_groups`
>Exclude a list of groups from being included in the inventory. This will match substrings.
* default: `""`

**example:**
```yaml
exclude_groups: "windows_group1,windows_group2"
```

### `exclude_hosts`
>Exclude a list of hosts from being included in the inventory. This will match substrings.
* default: `""`

**example:**
```yaml
exclude_hosts: "hostname1,hostname2"
```

### `extra_groups`
>Add a list of groups to the inventory under the top-level `all` group and place
>all hosts into these groups.  This is useful in an AWX/Tower scenario where
>hosts need to be put into a named group to pick up variable values specific to
>that.  AWX/Tower performs this variable assignment at inventory sync time and
>not playbook execution time.
* default: []

**example:**
```yaml
extra_groups:
  - foo
  - bar
  - baz
```

### `fqdn_format`
>Specifies if we should use FQDN instead of shortname for hosts.
* Allow Values: `True`, `False`
* Default: `False`

### `ldap_filter`
>LDAP filter used to find objects. You should not usually need to change this.
* Allowed Values: [RFC 4515](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4515.html)
* Default: `"(objectClass=Computer)"`

### `online_only`
>Performs a ping check of the machine before adding to inventory. Note: Does not work under bubblewrap (Tower/AWX) due to setuid flag of ping.
* Allow Values: `True`, `False`
* Default: `False`

### `password`
>Password used to authenticate LDAP user when **`auth_type`** is set to `simple`. Can use environmental variable `LDAP_PASSWORD` instead of setting in config.
* required: true

**example:**
```yaml
password: "Password123!"
```

### `port`
>Port used to connect to Domain Controller. If **`domain`** URI contains ldap or ldaps this is ignored.
* Default: `389` for ldap, `636` for ldaps

### `scheme`
>The ldap scheme to use. When using `ldap`, it is recommended to set `auth=gssapi`, or `start_tls=yes`, otherwise traffic will be in plaintext. This parameter is not required and can be determined from the **`domain`** URI or **`port`**.
* Allowed Values: `ldap`, `ldaps`
* Default: `ldap`

### `search_ou`
>LDAP path to search for computer objects. Can use environmental variable `SEARCH_OU` instead of setting in config.
* required: true

**example:**
```yaml
search_ou: "CN=Computers,DC=local,DC=com"
```

### `username`
>LDAP user account used to bind LDAP search when **`auth_type`** is set to `simple`. Can use environmental variable `LDAP_USER` instead of setting in config.
* required: true

**examples:**
```yaml
username: "username@local.com"
```
```yaml
username: "domain\\\\username"
```

### `validate_certs`
>Controls if verfication is done of SSL certificates for secure (ldaps://) connections.
* Allow Values: `True`, `False`
* Default: `True`

## Testing

`ansible-inventory -i ldap_inventory --list`

`ansible-inventory -i ldap_inventory --list --vault-id=@prompt` (when vaulted)

** Running a playbook **

`ansible-playbook -i ldap_inventory.yaml adhoc.yaml --vault-id@prompt `
