Features

Global DNS configuration

Supported FreeIPA Versions

FreeIPA versions 4.4.0 and up are supported by the ipadnsconfig module.

Requirements

Controller

Ansible version: 2.13+

Node

Supported FreeIPA version (see above)

Usage

Example inventory file

[ipaserver]
ipaserver.test.local

Example playbook to set global DNS configuration:

---
- name: Playbook to handle global DNS configuration
  hosts: ipaserver
  become: true

  tasks:
  # Set dnsconfig.
  - ipadnsconfig:
      forwarders:
        - ip_address: 8.8.4.4
        - ip_address: 2001:4860:4860::8888
          port: 53
      forward_policy: only
      allow_sync_ptr: yes

Example playbook to ensure a global forwarder, with a custom port, is absent:

---
- name: Playbook to handle global DNS configuration
  hosts: ipaserver
  become: true

  tasks:
  # Ensure global forwarder with a custom port is absent.
  - ipadnsconfig:
      forwarders:
          - ip_address: 2001:4860:4860::8888
            port: 53
      action: member
      state: absent

Example playbook to disable global forwarders:

---
- name: Playbook to disable global DNS forwarders
  hosts: ipaserver
  become: true

  tasks:
  # Disable global forwarders.
  - ipadnsconfig:
      forward_policy: none

Example playbook to change global forward policy:

---
- name: Playbook to change global forward policy
  hosts: ipaserver
  become: true

  tasks:
  # Disable global forwarders.
  - ipadnsconfig:
      forward_policy: first

Example playbook to disallow synchronization of forward (A, AAAA) and reverse (PTR) records:

---
- name: Playbook to disallow reverse synchronization.
  hosts: ipaserver
  become: true

  tasks:
  # Disable global forwarders.
  - ipadnsconfig:
      allow_sync_ptr: no
