I have a list which is actually a list of keys of a dict. And I want to get a concatenated string with the dict filtered on this list of keys and use it in a module option.
My use case here is users that have a list of public keys's name to generate an authorized_keys file.
1 ---
2 - hosts: localhost
3 become: false
4 vars:
5 pub_keys:
6 key01: ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQ[…]5/ someuser@somehost
7 key02: ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQ[…]ea otheruser@somewher
8 key03: ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQ[…]dN anyser@anyhost
9 users:
10 root:
11 home: /root
12 shell: /bin/bash
13 authorized_keys:
14 - key01
15 mgmtusr:
16 home: /home/mgmtusr
17 shell: /bin/bash
18 authorized_keys:
19 - key01
20 - key02
21 - key03
22
23 tasks:
24 - name: Debug Authorized Keys
25 debug:
26 msg: "USER:{{ item.key }} AUTHKEYSLIST:{{ pub_keys|selectattr(item.authorized_keys) }}"
27 with_dict: "{{ users }}"
28
29 - name: Manage users Authorized Keys
30 authorized_key:
31 user: "{{ item.key }}"
32 key: "{{ pub_keys|selectattr(item.authorized_keys) }}"
33 exclusive: yes
34 with_dict: "{{ users }}"
35
As you can see here, I give it a try with dict|selectattr(list) but it fails.
Getting <generator object select_or_reject at 0x…> in the debug module and of course an invalid key specified in the authorized_key module.

Like other tries (with_subelements, lookup('template', …) selectattr does not seems the solution.
Any proposition?
