## Synopsis

- Add, modify or delete sudo command within FreeIPA server using FreeIPA API.

## Parameters

Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments
--- | --- | ---
description - |  | A description of this command.
ipa_host string | Default: "ipa.example.com" | IP or hostname of IPA server. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `IPA_HOST` will be used instead. If both the environment variable `IPA_HOST` and the value are not specified in the task, then DNS will be used to try to discover the FreeIPA server. The relevant entry needed in FreeIPA is the 'ipa-ca' entry. If neither the DNS entry, nor the environment `IPA_HOST`, nor the value are available in the task, then the default value will be used. Environment variable fallback mechanism is added in Ansible 2.5.
ipa_pass string / required |  | Password of administrative user. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `IPA_PASS` will be used instead. Note that if the 'urllib_gssapi' library is available, it is possible to use GSSAPI to authenticate to FreeIPA. If the environment variable `KRB5CCNAME` is available, the module will use this kerberos credentials cache to authenticate to the FreeIPA server. If the environment variable `KRB5_CLIENT_KTNAME` is available, and `KRB5CCNAME` is not; the module will use this kerberos keytab to authenticate. If GSSAPI is not available, the usage of 'ipa_pass' is required. Environment variable fallback mechanism is added in Ansible 2.5.
ipa_port integer | Default: 443 | Port of FreeIPA / IPA server. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `IPA_PORT` will be used instead. If both the environment variable `IPA_PORT` and the value are not specified in the task, then default value is set. Environment variable fallback mechanism is added in Ansible 2.5.
ipa_prot string | Choices: http https ← | Protocol used by IPA server. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `IPA_PROT` will be used instead. If both the environment variable `IPA_PROT` and the value are not specified in the task, then default value is set. Environment variable fallback mechanism is added in Ansible 2.5.
ipa_timeout integer added in 2.7 | Default: 10 | Specifies idle timeout (in seconds) for the connection. For bulk operations, you may want to increase this in order to avoid timeout from IPA server. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `IPA_TIMEOUT` will be used instead. If both the environment variable `IPA_TIMEOUT` and the value are not specified in the task, then default value is set.
ipa_user string | Default: "admin" | Administrative account used on IPA server. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `IPA_USER` will be used instead. If both the environment variable `IPA_USER` and the value are not specified in the task, then default value is set. Environment variable fallback mechanism is added in Ansible 2.5.
state - | Choices: present ← absent enabled disabled | State to ensure
sudocmd - / required |  | Sudo Command. aliases: name
validate_certs boolean | Choices: no yes ← | This only applies if `ipa_prot` is https. If set to `no`, the SSL certificates will not be validated. This should only set to `no` used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates.

## Examples

        name: su
        state: absent
        ipa_host: ipa.example.com
        ipa_user: admin
        ipa_pass: topsecret
