Deploying and managing IdM with Ansible
summary
Shows how ansible-freeipa roles and modules deploy a full IdM cluster (master, replicas, clients) and then manage topology, users, groups, hosts and keytabs; a demo builds a cluster and creates 500 users and returns in about 5m59s on a modest notebook. Uses Ansible roles that set admin/DM/Kerberos passwords, flags for package install and firewalld, OTP-based client enrollment and member actions (add/remove members without recreating groups). Notes: RHEL7 replicas scale ~1–2, RHEL8 >4, and uninstalling DNS/CA isn’t supported yet.
