This is going to be long, so sorry about that, but no one seems to be able to help... Keep in mind, this is not my homework !! This is a project I get payed for, but I can't find any info about this, and I'm getting scared I can't even do this ...
I'm part of a project where we have to set up a virtual environment with gitlab, alfresco etc, make users, automatize commits and such with Ansible. We need this for advanced pen-testing and security purposes, a realistic playground of sorts.
I'm setting up Gitlab, which worked fine but now I have problems making users, I can't get the gitlab_user ansible module to work, there isn't a single example of how to use it and the given example playbooks don't work either ... Can someone please help me figure out the syntax ? Do I have to run a playbook with this in it ? :
- name: Create Gitlab User
gitlab_user:
server_url: https://gitlab.dj-wasabi.local
validate_certs: True
login_user: dj-wasabi
login_password: MySecretPassword
name: My Name
username: myusername
password: mysecretpassword
email: me@example.com
sshkey_name: MySSH
sshkey_file: ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc...
state: present
delegate_to: localhost
Or if I have to use it as a command from terminal, how do I do that ? I joined up a google group to ask about this and no one answered for days.
I thought if I can't get it to work, I'll use LDAP for user management, but can I do that ? Or LDAP is only for authentication and I have to make users with gitlab either way ? This is something I don't really understand about GitLab itself ...
None the less I tried setting up Slapd with the ansible role debops.slapd. I found this question here, but when I copied the code and ran the playbook it simply gave me this:

As you can see, it sure as hell doesn't set up anything, I even copied the example playbook one of the answers suggested and it didn't work either.
The VM I'm trying to set up slapd on is a simple Xubuntu installation, I'm using Mint, I'm not entirely sure if it's important ...
Now here's the question, I know that neither the debos role, nor the gitlab_user module have been touched for years at this point, do you think there's a change I can get it to wrok, or I have to write a playbook myself to set up slapd and add users to gitlab ?
And if that's the case, can I even do that ? I looked up digital ocean and it seems like I can set up Slapd, and even add users and such with Ldif files based on this page. What I'm not sure about is adding users to Gitlab ...
Again I'm terribly sorry the question is so long and complex, but there's nothing I found about any of this, and the google group is silent. Should I make this into multiple, short questions ?
Thank you for your time and help anyways ! (my first language isn't english, sorry for the mistakes )
