Hello,
I am working to automate my freeipa configuration (parts of it at
least) and I hit a strange behavior.
I'm not sure if it's a bug or if i'm doing it wrong.
When creating a user group with the ipa_group ansible role (ansible
2.9.5) it works fine if the there are some modifications to perform or
if the group doesn't exist.
But if I run it another time, the task fails with the message "msg":
"response group_mod: no modifications to be performed"
It looks like the task sends a modification request with nothing to
modify...
I do not see the same behavior for external groups. The tasks does
nothing as expected.
Is it a known issue? Is there a workaround? Am I doing it wrong?
Here is a sample of code that generates the error.
---
- name: Playbook to configure IPA clients with username/password
hosts: localhost
become: true
tasks:
- name: "Create IPA user group"
ipa_group:
cn: "ipagroup"
external: False
state: present
validate_certs: False
ipa_host: "{{ ipaserver_host }}"
ipa_user: "{{ ipaadmin_principal }}"
ipa_pass: "{{ ipaadmin_password }}"
...
Thank you
