• ncclient (>=v0.5.2)

Parameters

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
active boolean		no yes ←	Specifies whether or not the configuration is active or deactivated
aggregate list / elements=dictionary			The aggregate argument defines a list of users to be configured on the remote device. The list of users will be compared against the current users and only changes will be added or removed from the device configuration. This argument is mutually exclusive with the name argument. aliases: users, collection
	active boolean	no yes	Specifies whether or not the configuration is active or deactivated
	encrypted_password string		The encrypted_password argument set already hashed password for the user account on the remote system.
	full_name string		The full_name argument provides the full name of the user account to be created on the remote device. This argument accepts any text string value.
	name string / required		The name argument defines the username of the user to be created on the system. This argument must follow appropriate usernaming conventions for the target device running JUNOS. This argument is mutually exclusive with the aggregate argument.
	purge boolean	no ← yes	The purge argument instructs the module to consider the users definition absolute. It will remove any previously configured users on the device with the exception of the current defined set of aggregate.
	role string	operator read-only super-user unauthorized	The role argument defines the role of the user account on the remote system. User accounts can have more than one role configured.
	sshkey string		The sshkey argument defines the public SSH key to be configured for the user account on the remote system. This argument must be a valid SSH key
	state string	present absent	The state argument configures the state of the user definitions as it relates to the device operational configuration. When set to present, the user should be configured in the device active configuration and when set to absent the user should not be in the device active configuration
encrypted_password string			The encrypted_password argument set already hashed password for the user account on the remote system.
full_name string			The full_name argument provides the full name of the user account to be created on the remote device. This argument accepts any text string value.
name string			The name argument defines the username of the user to be created on the system. This argument must follow appropriate usernaming conventions for the target device running JUNOS. This argument is mutually exclusive with the aggregate argument.
provider dictionary			Deprecated Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using connection: network_cli or connection: netconf. For more information please see the Junos OS Platform Options guide. A dict object containing connection details.
	host string		Specifies the DNS host name or address for connecting to the remote device over the specified transport. The value of host is used as the destination address for the transport.
	password string		Specifies the password to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_PASSWORD will be used instead.
	port integer		Specifies the port to use when building the connection to the remote device. The port value will default to the well known SSH port of 22 (for transport=cli) or port 830 (for transport=netconf) device.
	ssh_keyfile path		Specifies the SSH key to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is the path to the key used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE will be used instead.
	timeout integer		Specifies the timeout in seconds for communicating with the network device for either connecting or sending commands. If the timeout is exceeded before the operation is completed, the module will error.
	transport string	cli netconf ←	Configures the transport connection to use when connecting to the remote device.
	username string		Configures the username to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_USERNAME will be used instead.
purge boolean		no ← yes	The purge argument instructs the module to consider the users definition absolute. It will remove any previously configured users on the device with the exception of the current defined set of aggregate.
role string		operator read-only super-user unauthorized	The role argument defines the role of the user account on the remote system. User accounts can have more than one role configured.
sshkey string			The sshkey argument defines the public SSH key to be configured for the user account on the remote system. This argument must be a valid SSH key
state string		present ← absent	The state argument configures the state of the user definitions as it relates to the device operational configuration. When set to present, the user should be configured in the device active configuration and when set to absent the user should not be in the device active configuration

Notes

Note

• This module requires the netconf system service be enabled on the remote device being managed.
• Tested against vSRX JUNOS version 15.1X49-D15.4, vqfx-10000 JUNOS Version 15.1X53-D60.4.
• Recommended connection is netconf. See the Junos OS Platform Options.
• This module also works with local connections for legacy playbooks.
• For information on using CLI and netconf see the Junos OS Platform Options guide
• For more information on using Ansible to manage network devices see the Ansible Network Guide
