And there is a ansible script:

  • name: Check if FreeIPA is configured
    tags:

  • setup

  • freeipa
    register: freeipa_ipaconf
    always_run: true
    stat:
    path: /etc/ipa/default.conf
    when: inventory_hostname == freeipa

  • name: Setup FreeIPA Server
    tags:

  • setup

  • freeipa
    become: true
    when: freeipa_ipaconf.state.exist == False and inventory_hostname == freeipa
    command: >
    {{ freeipa_install_command }}
    {{ freeipa_setup_options }}
