mysql_user password expiration support

[resuni]

SUMMARY

Being able to manage user password expiration using the mysql_user module would be handy.

• https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/password-management.html
• https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/create-user.html
• https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/alter-user.html

ISSUE TYPE

• Feature Idea

COMPONENT NAME

• mysql_user

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Parameters would correspond with the PASSWORD EXPIRE syntax of the CREATE USER and ALTER USER commands. I envision two new parameters being created to support this:

• password_expire - Accepted values: DEFAULT, NEVER, INTERVAL
• password_expire_interval - Used to specify interval in days, if password_expire is set to INTERVAL.

# Create/alter user with password that expires every 90 days
- name: create user
  mysql_user:
    name: resuni
    host: "127.0.0.1"
    password: pass123
    password_expire: INTERVAL
    password_expire_interval: 90

# Create/alter user with password that doesn't expire
- name: create user
  mysql_user:
    name: resuni
    host: "127.0.0.1"
    password: pass123
    password_expire: NEVER

# Create/alter user to use default password expiration policy as defined in mysqld.cnf
- name: create user
  mysql_user:
    name: resuni
    host: "127.0.0.1"
    password: pass123
    password_expire: DEFAULT

For the record:

• https://mariadb.com/kb/en/user-password-expiry/

mariadb >= 10.4.3
mysql >= 10.6.6

no idea if this must be still covered.

@resuni do you have some time to implement that parameter?

[resuni]

@markuman Not in the near future. I might have some time later this year if no one else gets to it before then.
