       aliases: name  | 
     |
| description
        
        string
         | 
      
        
        Description.
         | 
     |
| 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
         | 
      
       
  | 
      
        
        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.

         | 
     
| 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.
