42.4. Ensuring the presence of an IdM host entry with multiple IP addresses using Ansible playbooks

Procedure

1. Create an Ansible playbook file. Specify, as the name of the freeipa.ansible_freeipa.ipahost variable, the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) of the host whose presence in IdM you want to ensure. Specify each of the multiple IPv4 and IPv6 ip_address values on a separate line by using the ip_address syntax. To simplify this step, you can copy and modify the example in the /usr/share/ansible/collections/ansible_collections/freeipa/ansible_freeipa/playbooks/host/host-member-ipaddresses-present.yml file. You can also include additional information:

   ---
   - name: Host member IP addresses present
     hosts: ipaserver
   
     vars_files:
     - /home/user_name/MyPlaybooks/secret.yml
     tasks:
     - name: Ensure host101.example.com IP addresses present
       freeipa.ansible_freeipa.ipahost:
         ipaadmin_password: "{{ ipaadmin_password }}"
         name: host01.idm.example.com
         ip_address:
         - 192.168.0.123
         - fe80::20c:29ff:fe02:a1b3
         - 192.168.0.124
         - fe80::20c:29ff:fe02:a1b4
         force: true

2. Run the playbook:

   $ ansible-playbook --vault-password-file=password_file -v -i path_to_inventory_directory/inventory.file path_to_playbooks_directory/ensure-host-with-multiple-IP-addreses-is-present.yml

   注記

   The procedure creates a host entry in the IdM LDAP server but does not enroll the host into the IdM Kerberos realm. For that, you must deploy the host as an IdM client. For details, see Installing an Identity Management client using an Ansible playbook.

Verification

1. Log in to your IdM server as admin:

   $ ssh admin@server.idm.example.com
   Password:

2. Enter the ipa host-show command and specify the name of the host:

   $ ipa host-show host01.idm.example.com
     Principal name: host/host01.idm.example.com@IDM.EXAMPLE.COM
     Principal alias: host/host01.idm.example.com@IDM.EXAMPLE.COM
     Password: False
     Keytab: False
     Managed by: host01.idm.example.com

   The output confirms that host01.idm.example.com exists in IdM.

3. To verify that the multiple IP addresses of the host exist in the IdM DNS records, enter the ipa dnsrecord-show command and specify the following information:

   • The name of the IdM domain

   • The name of the host

     $ ipa dnsrecord-show idm.example.com host01
     [...]
       Record name: host01
       A record: 192.168.0.123, 192.168.0.124
       AAAA record: fe80::20c:29ff:fe02:a1b3, fe80::20c:29ff:fe02:a1b4

   The output confirms that all the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses specified in the playbook are correctly associated with the host01.idm.example.com host entry.
