salt stack: use state jinja variables in template
Solution 1:
You can pass any value you need to the template by using the defaults keyword. In your case, this would be:
{% for vpnuser in salt['pillar.get']('openvpn') %}
/etc/openvpn/ccd/{{ vpnuser }}:
file.managed:
- template: jinja
- source: salt://openvpn/ccdtemplate
- defaults:
vpnuser: {{ vpnuser }}
{% endfor %}
