These modules allow to manage the topology. That means that it can made sure that topology segments are present, absent or reinitialized. Also it is possible to verify topology suffixes.
- Topology management
FreeIPA versions 4.4.0 and up are supported by the ipatopologysegment and ipatopologysuffix modules.
Controller
- Ansible version: 2.14+
Node
- Supported FreeIPA version (see above)
Example inventory file
[ipaserver]
ipaserver.test.local
Example playbook to add a topology segment with default name (cn):
---
- name: Playbook to handle topologysegment
hosts: ipaserver
become: true
tasks:
- name: Add topology segment
ipatopologysegment:
ipaadmin_password: SomeADMINpassword
suffix: domain
left: ipareplica1.test.local
right: ipareplica2.test.local
state: present
The name (cn) can also be set if it should not be the default {left}-to-{right}
.
Example playbook to delete a topology segment:
---
- name: Playbook to handle topologysegment
hosts: ipaserver
become: true
tasks:
- name: Delete topology segment
ipatopologysegment:
ipaadmin_password: SomeADMINpassword
suffix: domain
left: ipareplica1.test.local
right: ipareplica2.test.local
state: absent
It is possible to either use the name (cn) or left and right nodes. If left and right nodes are used, then the name will be searched and used internally.
Example playbook to reinitialize a topology segment:
---
- name: Playbook to handle topologysegment
hosts: ipaserver
become: true
tasks:
- name: Reinitialize topology segment
ipatopologysegment:
ipaadmin_password: SomeADMINpassword
suffix: domain
left: ipareplica1.test.local
right: ipareplica2.test.local
direction: left-to-right
state: reinitialized
It is possible to either use the name (cn) or left and right nodes. If left and right nodes are used, then the name will be searched and used internally.
Example playbook to verify a topology suffix:
---
- name: Playbook to handle topologysuffix
hosts: ipaserver
become: true
tasks:
- name: Verify topology suffix
ipatopologysuffix:
ipaadmin_password: SomeADMINpassword
suffix: domain
state: verified
Example playbook to add or remove or check or reinitialize a list of topology segments:
---
- name: Add topology segments
hosts: ipaserver
become: true
gather_facts: false
vars:
ipaadmin_password: password1
ipatopology_segments:
- {suffix: domain, left: replica1.test.local, right: replica2.test.local}
- {suffix: domain, left: replica2.test.local, right: replica3.test.local}
- {suffix: domain, left: replica3.test.local, right: replica4.test.local}
- {suffix: domain+ca, left: replica4.test.local, right: replica1.test.local}
tasks:
- name: Add topology segment
ipatopologysegment:
ipaadmin_password: "{{ ipaadmin_password }}"
suffix: "{{ item.suffix }}"
name: "{{ item.name | default(omit) }}"
left: "{{ item.left }}"
right: "{{ item.right }}"
state: present
#state: absent
#state: checked
#state: reinitialized
loop: "{{ ipatopology_segments | default([]) }}"
Variable | Description | Required |

left | leftnode |
The left replication node string - an IPA server | no |
right | rightnode |
The right replication node string - an IPA server | no |
direction |
The direction a segment will be reinitialized. It can either be left-to-right or right-to-left and only used with state: reinitialized |
