As I have read, creating a user normally would look like
rabbitmq_user { 'admin_user':
admin => true,
password => 'pass,
}
How do I do this if I use hiera? Using the example below doesn't seem to work
# hiera.yml
rabbitmq_user:
name: 'admin_user'
admin: true
password: 'pass'
The only solution I can think of is forking and updating the rabbitmq module with a create_resources declaration like below
class rabbitmq(
...
$users = {},
...
) {
...
create_resources('rabbitmq_user', $users, {})
...
}
and have my hiera.yml look like
# hiera.yml
rabbitmq::users:
'admin_user':
admin: true
password: 'pass'
Is this also a correct way of handling it? I assume if I do it this way then it creates a notion that hiera will be the default data provider? I use hiera to manage data across multiple servers that depend on facts. Is this to my advantage?
rabbitmq_user seems to be listed as a *native type*. What is a *native type*?
