Variables Variables
--------- ---------
The client role is configured with variables. The `ipaclient_ ` prefix is used for client specific settings and `ipaadmin_` prefix for admin user specific settings.
### `ipaservers`
The optional `ipaservers` group is a list of the IPA server full qualified host names. In a topology with a chain of servers and replicas, it is important to use the right server or replica as the server for the client. If there is a need to overwrite the setting for a client in the `ipaclients` group, please use the list `ipaclient_servers` explained below.
If no `ipaservers` group is defined than the installation preparation step will try to use DNS autodiscovery to identify the the IPA server using DNS txt records.
### `ipaclients` ### `ipaclients`
The mandatory `ipaclients` group is a list of the names of the IPA clients in FQDN form. All these clients will be installed or configured using the playbook.

### `ipaadmin_keytab`
The `ipaadmin_keytab` variable enables the use of an admin keytab as an alternativce authentication method. The variable needs to contain the local path to the keytab file. If `ipaadmin_keytab` is used, then `ipaadmin_password` does not need to be set.
### `ipaadmin_principal`
The optional `ipaadmin_principal` variable only needs to be set if the name of the Kerberos admin principal is not "admin". If `ipaadmin_principal` is not set it will be set internally to "admin".
### `ipaadmin_password`
The `ipaadmin_password` variable contains the Kerberos password of the Kerberos admin principal. If `ipaadmin_keytab` is used, then `ipaadmin_password` does not need to be set.
### `ipaclient_domain` ### `ipaclient_domain`
The optional `ipaclient_domain` variable sets the DNS domain that will be used for client installation. Usually the DNS domain is a lower-cased name of the Kerberos realm.
