- To modify an existing directory service configuration you must first delete an existing configuration and then recreate with new settings.

## Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

- python >= 2.7

- purity_fb >= 1.1

## Parameters

Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments
--- | --- | ---
api_token string |  | FlashBlade API token for admin privileged user.
base_dn string / required |  | Sets the base of the Distinguished Name (DN) of the directory service groups. The base should consist of only Domain Components (DCs). The base_dn will populate with a default value when a URI is entered by parsing domain components from the URI. The base DN should specify DC= for each domain component and multiple DCs should be separated by commas.
bind_password string |  | Sets the password of the bind_user user name account.
bind_user string |  | Sets the user name that can be used to bind to and query the directory. For Active Directory, enter the username - often referred to as sAMAccountName or User Logon Name - of the account that is used to perform directory lookups. For OpenLDAP, enter the full DN of the user.
dstype string | Choices: management nfs smb | The type of directory service to work on
enable boolean | Choices: no ← yes | Whether to enable or disable directory service support.
fb_url string |  | FlashBlade management IP address or Hostname.
join_ou string added in 2.9 |  | The optional organizational unit (OU) where the machine account for the directory service will be created.
nis_domain string added in 2.9 |  | The NIS domain to search This cannot be used in conjunction with LDAP configurations.
nis_servers list added in 2.9 |  | A list of up to 30 IP addresses or FQDNs for NIS servers. This cannot be used in conjunction with LDAP configurations.
state string | Choices: absent present ← | Create or delete directory service configuration
uri list |  | A list of up to 30 URIs of the directory servers. Each URI must include the scheme ldap:// or ldaps:// (for LDAP over SSL), a hostname, and a domain name or IP address. For example, ldap://ad.company.com configures the directory service with the hostname "ad" in the domain "company.com" while specifying the unencrypted LDAP protocol.

## Notes

Note

- This module requires the `purity_fb` Python library

- You must set `PUREFB_URL` and `PUREFB_API` environment variables if fb_url and api_token arguments are not passed to the module directly
