Ansible Powerscale accesszone Auth Providers

I should also say that the output after trying to remove local shows that it was Actually removed:

"skeleton_directory": "/usr/sh********re/skel",
"system": "VALUE_SPECIFIED_IN_NO_LOG_PARAMETER",
"system_provider": "ls********-file-provider:System",
"user_mapping_rules": [],
 

As you can see, it only shows 1 provider and that one is System

But when I look in the GUI it shows 

So is this really a GUI problem??

thanks.

Hi @gdny 

To remove the auth provider, the provider_state need to be specified as remove (eg below). Could you please share the playbook which you are using to remove the provider? 

dellemc.powerscale.accesszone:
  >> connection params
  az_name: "{{access zone}}"
  provider_state: "remove"
  auth_providers:
     - provider_name: "{{name}}"
       provider_type: "{{type}}"
  state: "present"

Thanks,

Its not working but maybe a mistake in my last post showing you the wrong output.
I should have shown this:

                    "auth_providers": [
                        "ls********-file-provider:System",
                        "ls********-loc********l-provider:testte********m1"
                    ],
 

This is what it shows when I try to delete Local.  Please verify that this is what you are getting as well.

I tried this with the GUI and even though it lets you delete, and says it worked, when you go back in it shows that its not deleted.  So this seems to be a System problem and not an Ansible issue.

However, I don't care so much because I'm just looking to re-order and it does seem to move it to the bottom which is all I need right now.

Hi @gdny 

Yes you are right, the local provider gets created by default and cannot be removed from the access zone.

Thanks @jennifer_john.
So what is the preferred method for Arranging the order of Auth Providers?

The way I do it by trying to "remove" the Local one.  But I have to assume there is a better way.

thanks.

Hi @gdny 

Currently the module does not support arranging/ specifying the order of auth providers. The local provider is added by default and specifying other providers takes precedence over it. We will have a look on implementation of specifying the order through playbook.
