Compare two variables in Ansible [duplicate]

  • Ansible: compare variables

I am writing a script to change passwords on multiple servers. The script accepts username and password as input.



It should ask for password twice and compare if they are equal.



I could not find a way to compare two variables. Here's what I have at the moment:



 vars_prompt:

  - name: user_name

    prompt: Enter the user name for password reset

    private: no



  - name: pass

    prompt: Enter the password



  - name: re-pass

    prompt: Re-enter the password



  tasks:



    - name: Verify Password

      debug:

        msg: "Equal"

      when: pass is match re-pass

          Could not find a way to compare two varaibles




          The thing you want is assert:, but you will also want to actually name your variable a python-compatible name, else you will have to use the "dict" syntax to access it all the time, which will become annoying:



          vars_prompt:
          
- name: pass
          
- name: re_pass
          
tasks:
          
- name: ensure passwords are equal
          
  assert:
          
    that:
          
    - pass == re_pass

          A CLEAN and SIMPLE way to add appendices to Table of Contents and bookmarks

          Image
          0 I found a lot of questions abount appendices and ToC. Many users want appendices to be grouped in an Appendix part, however some problems arise with ToC, hyperref, PDF viewer bookmarks, and so on. There are different solutions which require extra packages, command patching and other extra code, however none of them satisfies me. I almost found an easy way to accomplish a good result, where appendices are added to bookmarks in the right way and hyperref links point to the right page. However, the number of the "Appendix" part page is wrong (it's the number of appendix A). Is there any EASY way to fix that? This is a MWE: documentclass{book} usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind} usepackage{hyperref} begin{document} frontmatter tableofcontents mainmatter part{First} chapter{
