Synopsis 

Add, modify and delete an IPA DNS Record using IPA API.

Parameters 

Parameter	Comments
ipa_host string	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. Default: `"ipa.example.com"`
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	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. Default: `443`
ipa_prot string	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. Choices: `"http"` `"https"` ← (default)
ipa_timeout integer	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. Default: `10`
ipa_user string	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. Default: `"admin"`
record_name aliases: name string / required	The DNS record name to manage.
record_ttl integer	Set the TTL for the record. Applies only when adding a new or changing the value of record_value or record_values.
record_type string	The type of DNS record name. Currently, ‘A’, ‘AAAA’, ‘A6’, ‘CNAME’, ‘DNAME’, ‘PTR’, ‘TXT’, ‘SRV’ and ‘MX’ are supported. ‘A6’, ‘CNAME’, ‘DNAME’ and ‘TXT’ are added in version 2.5. ‘SRV’ and ‘MX’ are added in version 2.8. Choices: `"A"` ← (default) `"AAAA"` `"A6"` `"CNAME"` `"DNAME"` `"MX"` `"PTR"` `"SRV"` `"TXT"`
record_value string	Manage DNS record name with this value. Mutually exclusive with record_values, and exactly one of record_value and record_values has to be specified. Use record_values if you need to specify multiple values. In the case of ‘A’ or ‘AAAA’ record types, this will be the IP address. In the case of ‘A6’ record type, this will be the A6 Record data. In the case of ‘CNAME’ record type, this will be the hostname. In the case of ‘DNAME’ record type, this will be the DNAME target. In the case of ‘PTR’ record type, this will be the hostname. In the case of ‘TXT’ record type, this will be a text. In the case of ‘SRV’ record type, this will be a service record. In the case of ‘MX’ record type, this will be a mail exchanger record.
record_values list / elements=string	Manage DNS record name with this value. Mutually exclusive with record_value, and exactly one of record_value and record_values has to be specified. In the case of ‘A’ or ‘AAAA’ record types, this will be the IP address. In the case of ‘A6’ record type, this will be the A6 Record data. In the case of ‘CNAME’ record type, this will be the hostname. In the case of ‘DNAME’ record type, this will be the DNAME target. In the case of ‘PTR’ record type, this will be the hostname. In the case of ‘TXT’ record type, this will be a text. In the case of ‘SRV’ record type, this will be a service record. In the case of ‘MX’ record type, this will be a mail exchanger record.
state string	State to ensure Choices: `"absent"` `"present"` ← (default)
validate_certs boolean	This only applies if `ipa_prot` is https. If set to `false`, the SSL certificates will not be validated. This should only set to `false` used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates. Choices: `false` `true` ← (default)
zone_name string / required	The DNS zone name to which DNS record needs to be managed.

Attributes 

Attribute	Support	Description
check_mode	Support: full	Can run in `check_mode` and return changed status prediction without modifying target.
diff_mode	Support: none	Will return details on what has changed (or possibly needs changing in `check_mode`), when in diff mode.
