IPA Client Disenrollment Ansible Role

💡 No dependencies are installed in your target environment. Only configuration changes are applied to the ipa-client package, if and when found in your target environment.

This repository contains a configuration template (i.e. an Ansible Role) to customize your environment in the European Weather Cloud (EWC). The template is designed to run on a virtual machine, running an IPA client previously enrolled in your IPA server, such that it:

• Requests configuration changes to said IPA server for:
  • Stopping user authentication/authorization management (LDAP) to target virtual machine
  • Deletion of IPA server-internal DNS records referencing the target virtual machine, if and when found

Usage

The step-by-step described below assume your local file system follows the example structure below, with ewc-ansible-role-ipa-client-disenroll being a clone of this repository:

.
├── roles
│   └──  ewc-ansible-role-ipa-client-disenroll
├── inventory.yml
└── playbook.yml

1. Specify the target host and SSH credentials

Create an inventory file to specify address/credentials that Ansible should use to reach the virtual machine you wish to target:

# inventory.yml
---
ewcloud:
  hosts:
    ipa_client:
      ansible_python_interpreter: /usr/bin/python3
      ansible_host: <add the IPV4 address of the target host>
      ansible_ssh_private_key_file: <add the path to local SSH RSA private key file>
      ansible_user: <add the username which owns the SSH RSA private key >

2. Customize the template

Edit input values for the template variables as needed (see Inputs section for details). Then, proceed to create an Ansible Playbook file to load your customizations:

# playbook.yml
---
- name: Disenroll IPA clients from an IPA server
  hosts: ipa_client
  become: true
  become_user: root
  become_method: ansible.builtin.sudo

  roles:
    - ewc-ansible-role-ipa-client-disenroll

3. Apply the template

You can apply changes on the target host by running:

ansible-playbook -i inventory.yml playbook.yml

Inputs
