Usage

Example inventory file

[ipaserver]
ipaserver.test.local

Example playbook to make sure server "server.example.com" is already present in the topology:

---
- name: Playbook to manage IPA server.
  hosts: ipaserver
  become: yes

  tasks:
  - ipaserver:
      ipaadmin_password: SomeADMINpassword
      name: server.example.com

This task is not deploying a new server, it is only checking if the server eists. It will therefore fail if the server does not exist.

Example playbook to make sure server "server.example.com" has location mylocation:

---
- name: Playbook to manage IPA server.
  hosts: ipaserver
  become: yes

  tasks:
  - ipaserver:
      ipaadmin_password: SomeADMINpassword
      name: server.example.com
      location: mylocation

Example playbook to make sure server "server.example.com" does not have a location:

---
- name: Playbook to manage IPA server.
  hosts: ipaserver
  become: yes

  tasks:
  - ipaserver:
      ipaadmin_password: SomeADMINpassword
      name: server.example.com
      location: ""
