[chef] User Management

[ANGELA EBIRIM < >]

Hello everyone,

Wondering if I can pick your collective brains...

I have a situation where users are created and deleted on a chef server using a ruby script that would add/remove encrypted databags accordingly. However I'd like a situation where the creation/deletion of users, on windows and linux boxes, is completely automated.

For example, if a user is deleted, the recipe compares the userlist on chef with the members of the sysadmin group on unix to see who is missing. Once that is determined, within the recipe, the user resource is then applied to the unix box according to the now modified userlist.

What do you think? 

Thanks Angela
