RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Ade Lee 2021-01-19 21:24:26 UTC 
Description of problem:

Right now, it appears that many of the modules (ipahost, ipaservice etc.) are required to run on the ipa server.  Therefore, they are not really a replacement
for the ipa_host, ipa_service etc. modules that are in the community version upstream.  Those can be run remotely and it is possible to authenticate using admin user/pass or GSSAPI.

Requiring the modules to be run on the ipa server means having to provide ssh credentials onto the ipa server to, for example, an openstack deployer.  This is something folks could be loath to do.

Comment 2 Thomas Woerner 2021-04-15 16:17:07 UTC 
Mot of the modules are currently using the IPA API with the server context. What might be doable is to enable the use of the modules on clients also.
Comment 3 Rafael Jeffman 2021-04-15 18:55:26 UTC 
Currently, only `vault` does not use the server context.

By setting the context in ansible_freeipa_module:api_connect() to `ansible-freeipa`, I was able to run a few modules (tested with permission and privilege) in a client host.

We could add a bool variable `ipa_client_context`, which would default to `no`, to be available in all modules that can be run in a client or server context (e.g. vault would not use it, as it only runs in client context).
Comment 4 Rafael Jeffman 2021-06-20 16:43:22 UTC 
There is an upstream PR for this issue: https://github.com/freeipa/ansible-freeipa/pull/575
Comment 5 Theodoros Apazoglou 2021-09-24 11:32:11 UTC 
The above PR was closed in favor of PR https://github.com/freeipa/ansible-freeipa/pull/631
Comment 6 Thomas Woerner 2021-09-29 10:20:59 UTC 
https://github.com/freeipa/ansible-freeipa/pull/631 has been merged upstream.
