Hi.
I''ve defined a virtual user "kenneth", and depending on a
variable in the
node definiton I''d like to add the users to different groups. Consider
this
example:
###### Code start
node "server.example.com" {
$server_type = "typeA"
realize User[kenneth]
}
@user {"kenneth":
ensure => present,
uid => 1000,
gid => 1000,
groups => $server_type ? {
typeA => "wheel",
default => undef,
},
home => "/home/kenneth",
shell => "/bin/bash",
comment => "A comment",
password => ''<something>''
}
###### Code end
If I add the user to an ordinary class (like "class user_kenneth")
instead
of defining it as a virtual resource, everything works fine. But when using
a virtual definition like this, the variable "server_type"
doesn''t seem to
have any effect on the if statement "groups". Am I doing something
wrong, or
is this not supposed to work? I''m running version 0.24.4.
Best regards,
Kenneth Holter

Am I doing something wrong, or > is this not supposed to work? I''m running version 0.24.4.I''ve been off for over a week, so I just noticed you never got an answer to this question. The variables are filled out at the time the virtual resource is defined, not at the time it''s realized. You might be able to do something like: realize User[kenneth] User[kenneth] { groups => $server_type ? { typeA => "wheel", default => undef, } } to realize it the way you want. Haven''t tried anything like that though. Maybe someone else can comment if it works.

Hi, there Im looking into the same thing. Did you come up with a decent solution?
