Task named "Run the installer" is probably wrong.

Hi,

I think the tasks has an error:

- name: Run the installer
  action: command
    {{ ipaserver_base_command }}
...

This should be probably only the following I think:

- name: Run the installer
  command: >
    {{ ipaserver_base_command }}
...

Or at least I can not find anything about this Ansible "action" module. If you want I can create a pull request for it.

action isn't the module. Its legacy ansible syntax. Is this task failing for you?

Hi,

It is odd, now it is working.

Prevously the task was not failling directly. I mean I did not get error when I was running the playbook, but the actual installation does not happened. If I run 'ipactl status' I got something like "IPA is not configured... "

This is the code what I used to "solve" for me:

- name: Run the installer
  command: >
    {{ ipaserver_base_command }}
    --realm {{ ipaserver_realm }}
    --domain {{ ipaserver_domain }}
    -a {{ ipaserver_admin_password }}
    -p {{ ipaserver_dir_admin_password }}
    --hostname={{ ansible_fqdn }}
    --ip-address={{ ansible_eth0.ipv4.address }}
    {{ '--idstart=%s' % ipaserver_idstart if ipaserver_idstart | default(False) else '' }}
    {{ '--idmax=%s' % ipaserver_idmax if ipaserver_idmax | default(False) else '' }}
    {{ '--forwarder=%s' % ipaserver_dns_forwarder
       if ipaserver_dns_forwarder | default(False) else '--no-forwarders' }}
    {{ '--mkhomedir' if ipaserver_mkhomedir | default(True) else '' }}
    {{ '--setup-dns' if ipaserver_setup_dns | default(True) else '' }}
    {{ '--ssh-trust-dns' if ipaserver_ssh_trust_dns | default(True) else '' }}
    {{ '' if ipaserver_hbac_allow | default(True) else '--no_hbac_allow' }}
    {{ '' if ipaserver_setup_ntp | default(True) else '--no-ntp' }}
    {{ '' if ipaserver_configure_ssh | default(True) else '--no-ssh' }}
    {{ '' if ipaserver_configure_sshd | default(True) else '--no-sshd' }}
    {{ '' if ipaserver_ui_redirect | default(True) else '--no-ui-redirect' }}
  args:
    creates: /etc/ipa/default.conf

Ansible version: 2.3.2.0
Target machine: CentOS 7, kernel 3.10.0-514.26.2.el7.x86_64, python version: 2.7.5
IPA installed: VERSION: 4.5.0, API_VERSION: 2.228

I also had to add the following package to the 'ipaserver_packages' variable:
ipa-server-dns
