Synopsis

Add and delete an IPA service using IPA API

Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
force boolean	Choices: no yes	Force principal name even if host is not in DNS.
hosts -		defines the list of 'ManagedBy' hosts
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 / required		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 added in 2.7	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.
krbcanonicalname - / required		principal of the service Can not be changed as it is the unique identifier. aliases: name
state -	Choices: present ← absent	State to ensure
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.

Examples

# Ensure service is present
- ipa_service:
    name: http/host01.example.com
    state: present
    ipa_host: ipa.example.com
    ipa_user: admin
    ipa_pass: topsecret

# Ensure service is absent
- ipa_service:
    name: http/host01.example.com
    state: absent
    ipa_host: ipa.example.com
    ipa_user: admin
    ipa_pass: topsecret

# Changing Managing hosts list
- ipa_service:
    name: http/host01.example.com
    host:
       - host01.example.com
       - host02.example.com
    ipa_host: ipa.example.com
    ipa_user: admin
    ipa_pass: topsecret
