I am trying to use the ansible-playbook to install the client on CentOS 8. I am getting
the following error:

TASK [ipaclient : Install - Check if one of password or keytabs are set]

Thanks for using ansible. To answer your question more information is needed. Could you please describe clearly all of the below:

  • What goal you are trying to achieve.

  • How you are doing this.

  • What problems you encounter.

  • Which commands did you run, and what actual output did you get (copied as plain text - not as screenshots, images, or other binary attachments).

  • What do the relevant inventory/tasks/playbooks/code/variables look like.

  • The output of ‘ansible --version’

I am trying to install the the FreeIPA client on CentOS and RHEL 6,7,8 servers.
I am using the ansible-freeipa module https://github.com/freeipa/ansible-freeipa
The only problem I have encountered is the one I pasted regarding the keytabs or otp.

Here is the command I used:

ansible-playbook --ask-vault-pass -i /opt/syseng/automation/ansible/passwd.yml --inventory-file /opt/syseng/automation/ansible/hosts/ansible_hosts /opt/syseng/automation/ansible-freeipa/playbooks/install-client.yml -e "target_servers=hostname001.loc.example.net" --user=user123 -vvvvvv

freeipa inventory file

`
[ipaclients:vars]
ipaadmin_principal=admin
ipaadmin_password=“{{ ipaadmin_password }}”
ipaclient_domain=loc.example.net
ipaclient_realm=LOC.EXAMPLE.NET
#ipaclient_keytab=/tmp/krb5.keytab
#ipaclient_use_otp=yes
#ipaclient_force_join=yes
#ipaclient_kinit_attempts=3
ipaclient_mkhomedir=yes
ipaclient_allow_repair=yes

`

$ ansible --version ansible 2.9.6 config file = /opt/syseng/automation/ansible/ansible.cfg configured module search path = ['/opt/syseng/automation/ansible-freeipa/playbooks/roles/ansible-freeipa/plugins/modules'] ansible python module location = /home/andrew.meyer/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ansible executable location = /home/andrew.meyer/.local/bin/ansible python version = 3.6.8 (default, Nov 21 2019, 19:31:34) [GCC 8.3.1 20190507 (Red Hat 8.3.1-4)]

Hope that helps.
