Hello, I have a few services that I want to configure for kerberos authentication. I use ansible for this.

So, I register the host in IPA, get the OTP, install the ipa-client, create the service and then I need to go to the CLI to download the keytab.

I have this in my playbooks:

===================== - name: Download the Keytab block: - name: Login to IPA Master command: echo '{{ ipa_password }}' | kinit admin no_log: true

- name: Download the keytab command: > ipa-getkeytab -s {{ ipa_master }} -p HTTP/{{ inventory_hostname }} -k /etc/httpd/http_{{ inventory_hostname }}.keytab =====================

This is failing with the error:

==============================

fatal: [server.example.com]: FAILED! => changed=true cmd: - ipa-getkeytab - -s - ipamaster.example.com - -p - HTTP/server.example.com - -k - /etc/httpd/http_server.example.com.keytab delta: '0:00:00.005696' end: '2020-05-11 12:43:59.935641' msg: non-zero return code rc: 6 start: '2020-05-11 12:43:59.929945' stderr: Kerberos User Principal not found. Do you have a valid Credential Cache? stderr_lines: <omitted> stdout: '' stdout_lines: <omitted>

==============================

However, if I login to the server, issue a ticket (kinit admin), logout and then re-run the playbook succeeds!!!

Any idea how to fix this? Obviously I cannot login to each host and then run the playbooks, this is not automation.
