Modules and scripts to manage multiple users and their public keys in environment with tens or even hundreds of Netapp filers. It substitues centralized user management solutions like LDAP.
It was not possible to use LDAP, because we need password-less logging in and LDAP doesnt support it on Netapps. Therefore, I created scripts which can add/delete user/s on single or all filers in the environment.

This modules and scripts are useful in following cases:

1. Add one user to one filer
2. Add all users to one filer
3. Add one user to all filers
4. Add all users to all filers

All keys are stored in directory which is set in config file in variable keypath. Structure has to be following:

/dir/to/keys/user_name/id_rsa.pub
/dir/to/keys/user_name2/id_rsa.pub
...

List of filers is taken from /etc/hosts file or other file with appropriate syntax

• NetappSDK from my GitHub account

  sudo pip install git+git://github.com/kmadac/NetappSDK.git

sudo pip install git+git://github.com/kmadac/NetappUserManagement.git

Copy config file

/opt/system/netapp_user_management/config_template.py

to

/opt/system/netapp_user_management/config.py

and adjust values for your environment.

• keypath - path to directory with the user public keys

• hosts_file - path to hosts file

• hosts_filter - list of strings which identifies line in hosts file which will be used for user management operations (most likely will start with #). Example of such hosts file can be found in test directory.

• root_passwords - list of root passwords which will be used by scripts to login to filer. Script will try one after another in case that logging in won't be successful. It was added because we have several different root passwords in environment.
