Notes
Note
- This module uses JSON-RPC over HTTP(S) to communicate with the FreeIPA server. If you need to enroll the managed node into FreeIPA realm, you might want to consider using the collection freeipa.ansible_freeipa, but shell access to one node from the realm is required to manage the deployment.
