Description Donghwi Cha 2021-12-19 00:50:39 UTC
Description of problem:
In 16.2.0/16.2.1, 
IDM server input value is limited to a string 
where there can be only one value of IPA server, 
however IPA ansible playbook is capable of accepting multiple values of IPA server. 

[IDM tripleO heat template] 

  IdMServer:
    default: ''
    ...
    type: string

[ ipaclient ansible install task ]

- name: Install - Set ipaclient_servers
  set_fact:
    ipaclient_servers: "{{ groups['ipaservers'] | list }}"  <--- list value
  when: groups.ipaservers is defined and ipaclient_servers is not defined

IDM tripleO heat template needs improvement 
so that it can convey the original intension of IPA client integration Ansible playbook.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 16.2.0/16.2.1

How reproducible:

Provide the two values of IPA servers to IdMServer, and installation fails 
since IdMServer is set to string. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. provide heat param like IdMServer: "ipaserver1,ipaserver2"
2. run overcloud deployment 
3. installation fails 

Actual results:

....
Overcloud Deployed with error
Overcloud configuration failed.


Expected results:

successful deployment of overcloud without issue

Ansible doesn't support a list of IDM servers (it can reads the IPA_HOST env var or 'ipa-ca'), but in my opinion, we shouldn't wait for this to be implemented. We can pass the first server from the list during the installation to Ansible and supply the whole list to ipa-client-install.
