Synopsis ¶

Add, modify and delete group within IPA server

Parameters ¶

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
cn string / required		Canonical name. Can not be changed as it is the unique identifier. aliases: name
description string		Description of the group.
external boolean	Choices: no yes	Allow adding external non-IPA members from trusted domains.
gidnumber string		GID (use this option to set it manually). aliases: gid
group list / elements=string		List of group names assigned to this group. If an empty list is passed all groups will be removed from this group. If option is omitted assigned groups will not be checked or changed. Groups that are already assigned but not passed will be removed.
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.
nonposix boolean	Choices: no yes	Create as a non-POSIX group.
state string	Choices: absent present ←	State to ensure
user list / elements=string		List of user names assigned to this group. If an empty list is passed all users will be removed from this group. If option is omitted assigned users will not be checked or changed. Users that are already assigned but not passed will be removed.
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.
