Synopsis

Modify global configuration settings of a FreeIPA Server.

Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
ipa_host string	Default: "ipa.example.com"	IP or hostname of IPA server. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `IPA_HOST` will be used instead. If both the environment variable `IPA_HOST` and the value are not specified in the task, then DNS will be used to try to discover the FreeIPA server. The relevant entry needed in FreeIPA is the 'ipa-ca' entry. If neither the DNS entry, nor the environment `IPA_HOST`, nor the value are available in the task, then the default value will be used. Environment variable fallback mechanism is added in Ansible 2.5.
ipa_pass string		Password of administrative user. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `IPA_PASS` will be used instead. Note that if the 'urllib_gssapi' library is available, it is possible to use GSSAPI to authenticate to FreeIPA. If the environment variable `KRB5CCNAME` is available, the module will use this kerberos credentials cache to authenticate to the FreeIPA server. If the environment variable `KRB5_CLIENT_KTNAME` is available, and `KRB5CCNAME` is not; the module will use this kerberos keytab to authenticate. If GSSAPI is not available, the usage of 'ipa_pass' is required. Environment variable fallback mechanism is added in Ansible 2.5.
ipa_port integer	Default: 443	Port of FreeIPA / IPA server. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `IPA_PORT` will be used instead. If both the environment variable `IPA_PORT` and the value are not specified in the task, then default value is set. Environment variable fallback mechanism is added in Ansible 2.5.
ipa_prot string	Choices: http https ←	Protocol used by IPA server. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `IPA_PROT` will be used instead. If both the environment variable `IPA_PROT` and the value are not specified in the task, then default value is set. Environment variable fallback mechanism is added in Ansible 2.5.
ipa_timeout integer	Default: 10	Specifies idle timeout (in seconds) for the connection. For bulk operations, you may want to increase this in order to avoid timeout from IPA server. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `IPA_TIMEOUT` will be used instead. If both the environment variable `IPA_TIMEOUT` and the value are not specified in the task, then default value is set.
ipa_user string	Default: "admin"	Administrative account used on IPA server. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `IPA_USER` will be used instead. If both the environment variable `IPA_USER` and the value are not specified in the task, then default value is set. Environment variable fallback mechanism is added in Ansible 2.5.
ipaconfigstring list / elements=string added in 2.5.0 of community.general	Choices: AllowNThash KDC:Disable Last Success KDC:Disable Lockout KDC:Disable Default Preauth for SPNs	Extra hashes to generate in password plug-in. aliases: configstring
ipadefaultemaildomain string		Default e-mail domain for new users. aliases: emaildomain
ipadefaultloginshell string		Default shell for new users. aliases: loginshell

ipakrbauthzdata list / elements=string added in 2.5.0 of community.general	Choices: MS-PAC PAD nfs:NONE	Default types of PAC supported for services. aliases: krbauthzdata
ipamaxusernamelength integer added in 2.5.0 of community.general		Maximum length of usernames. aliases: maxusernamelength
ipapwdexpadvnotify integer added in 2.5.0 of community.general		Notice of impending password expiration, in days. aliases: pwdexpadvnotify
ipasearchrecordslimit integer added in 2.5.0 of community.general		Maximum number of records to search (-1 or 0 is unlimited). aliases: searchrecordslimit
ipasearchtimelimit integer added in 2.5.0 of community.general		Maximum amount of time (seconds) for a search (-1 or 0 is unlimited). aliases: searchtimelimit
ipaselinuxusermaporder list / elements=string added in 3.7.0 of community.general		The SELinux user map order (order in increasing priority of SELinux users). aliases: selinuxusermaporder
ipauserauthtype list / elements=string added in 2.5.0 of community.general	Choices: password radius otp pkinit hardened disabled	The authentication type to use by default. aliases: userauthtype
ipausersearchfields list / elements=string added in 2.5.0 of community.general		A list of fields to search in when searching for users. aliases: usersearchfields
validate_certs boolean	Choices: no yes ←	This only applies if `ipa_prot` is https. If set to `no`, the SSL certificates will not be validated. This should only set to `no` used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates.
