The config module allows the setting of global config parameters within IPA. If no parameters are specified it returns the list of all current parameters.
The config module is as compatible as possible to the Ansible upstream ipa_config
module, but adds many additional parameters
- IPA server configuration management
FreeIPA versions 4.4.0 and up are supported by the ipaconfig module.
Some variables are only supported on newer versions of FreeIPA. Check Variables
section for details.
