ipaserver role

==============

Description

-----------

This role allows to configure and IPA server.

**Note**: The ansible playbooks and role require a configured ansible environment where the ansible nodes are reachable and are properly set up to have an IP address and a working package manager.

Features

--------

* Server deployment

Supported FreeIPA Versions

--------------------------

FreeIPA versions 4.5 and up are supported by the server role.

Supported Distributions

-----------------------

* RHEL/CentOS 7.6+

* Fedora 26+

* Ubuntu

Requirements

------------

**Controller**

* Ansible version: 2.8+

**Node**

* Supported FreeIPA version (see above)

* Supported distribution (needed for package installation only, see above)

Limitations

-----------

**External signed CA**

External signed CA is now supported. But the currently needed two step process is an issue for the processing in a simple playbook.

Work is planned to have a new method to handle CSR for external signed CAs in a separate step before starting the server installation.

Usage

=====

Example inventory file with fixed domain and realm, setting up of the DNS server and using forwarders from /etc/resolv.conf:

```ini

[ipaserver]

ipaserver2.example.com

[ipaserver:vars]

ipaserver_domain=example.com

ipaserver_realm=EXAMPLE.COM

ipaserver_setup_dns=yes

ipaserver_auto_forwarders=yes

```

Example playbook to setup the IPA server using admin and dirman passwords from an [Ansible Vault](http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/playbooks_vault.html) file:

```yaml

---

- name: Playbook to configure IPA server

  hosts: ipaserver

  become: true

  vars_files:

  - playbook_sensitive_data.yml

  roles:

  - role: ipaserver

    state: present

```

Example playbook to unconfigure the IPA client(s) using principal and password from inventory file:

```yaml

---

- name: Playbook to unconfigure IPA server

  hosts: ipaserver

  become: true

  roles:

  - role: ipaserver

    state: absent

```

Example inventory file with fixed domain, realm, admin and dirman passwords:

```ini

[ipaserver]

ipaserver.example.com

[ipaserver:vars]

ipaserver_domain=example.com

ipaserver_realm=EXAMPLE.COM

ipaadmin_password=MySecretPassword123

ipadm_password=MySecretPassword234

```

Example playbook to setup the IPA server using admin and dirman passwords from inventory file:

```yaml

---

- name: Playbook to configure IPA server

  hosts: ipaserver

  become: true

  roles:

  - role: ipaserver

    state: present

```

Example playbook to setup the IPA primary with external signed CA using the previous inventory file:

Server installation step 1: Generate CSR, copy to controller as `<ipaserver hostname>-ipa.csr`

```yaml

---

- name: Playbook to configure IPA server step1

  hosts: ipaserver

  become: true

  vars:

    ipaserver_external_ca: yes

  roles:

  - role: ipaserver

    state: present

  post_tasks:

  - name: Copy CSR /root/ipa.csr from node to "{{ groups.ipaserver[0] + '-ipa.csr' }}"

    fetch:

      src: /root/ipa.csr

      dest: "{{ groups.ipaserver[0] + '-ipa.csr' }}"

      flat: yes

```

Sign with CA: This is up to you

Server installation step 2: Copy `<ipaserver hostname>-chain.crt` to the IPA server and continue with installation of the primary.

```yaml

---

- name: Playbook to configure IPA server step3

  hosts: ipaserver

  become: true

  vars:

    ipaserver_external_cert_files: "/root/chain.crt"

  pre_tasks:

  - name: Copy "{{ groups.ipaserver[0] + '-chain.crt' }}" to /root/chain.crt on node

    copy:

      src: "{{ groups.ipaserver[0] + '-chain.crt' }}"

      dest: "/root/chain.crt"

      force: yes

  roles:

  - role: ipaserver

    state: present

```

The files can also be copied automatically: Set `ipaserver_copy_csr_to_controller` to true in the server installation step 1 and set `ipaserver_external_cert_files_from_controller` to point to the `chain.crt` file in the server installation step 2.

Playbooks

=========

The playbooks needed to deploy or undeploy a server are part of the repository in the playbooks folder. There are also playbooks to deploy and undeploy clusters.

```

install-server.yml

uninstall-server.yml

```

Please remember to link or copy the playbooks to the base directory of ansible-freeipa if you want to use the roles within the source archive.

How to setup a server

---------------------

```bash

ansible-playbook -v -i inventory/hosts install-server.yml

```

This will deploy the server defined in the inventory file.
