All values for pwpolicy can be cleared with an empty string in IPA CLI,
and this behavior was missing in ansible-freeipa.
As of today, there is an issue in FreeIPA that does not allow clearing
'minlength' policy. The is is tracked by the FreeIPA project through
https://pagure.io/freeipa/issue/9297
Fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2150334
On recent versions of FreeIPA option to verify passwords and for
controlling a password grace period have been added to IPA API.
This patch adds support for the parameters maxrepeat, maxsequence,
dictcheck and usercheck, available since FreeIPA, 4.9 and gracelimit,
available since FreeIPA 4.9.10.
Test playbooks for the module have been updated with the new supported
parameters.
New example playbooks can be found at:
playbooks/pwpolicy/pwpolicy_grace_limit.yml
playbooks/pwpolicy/pwpolicy_password_check.yml
ansible-test with ansible-2.14 is adding a lot of new tests to ensure
that the documentation section and the agument spec is complete. Needed
changes:
DOCUMENTATION section
- `type: str` needs to be set for string parameters
- `type: list` needs to be set for list parameters
- `elements: str` needs to be given for list of string parameters
- `author` needs to be given with the github user also: `Name (@user)`
- `extends_documentation_fragment: ipamodule_base_docs` needs added and
`ipaadmin_*` parameters need to be removed
argument_spec
- `elements="str"` needs to be added to all list of string parameters
The `copyright` date is extended with `-2022`.
Before "short description" was used in most plugins, modules and also
in the new module templates.
ansible-doc was therefore not showing the short description. To fix the
issue the flag was renamed to short_description instead.

'ansible-doc' -l lists most idm modules as 'UNDOCUMENTED'
execute_ipa_commands replces the check mode exit, the loop over the
generated commands and also in the member failure handling for modules
with member support.
ipaadmin_variables are handled by IPAAnsibleModule,
ansible_module.params_get is used to get the parameters and
ansible_module.ipa_connect is used to simplify the module.
Added code to the ipa* plugins to support Ansible's check_mode, by
means of a clean exit before the execution of the actual list of
commands that would otherwise create/update/delete IPA servers
and/or its resources.
If the name is not set, the policy global_policy is now used. It was needed
before to explicitly name the global_policy. Also a check has been added
to fail early if global_policy is used with state absent.
The README for pwpolicy has been extended with an example for global_policy
and also the description of the name variable.
The test has also been extended to check a change of maxlife for
global_policy and that global_policy can not be used with state: absent

There is a new pwpolicy management module placed in the plugins folder:
plugins/modules/ipapwpolicy.py
The pwpolicy module allows to ensure presence and absence of pwpolicies for
groups.
Here is the documentation for the module:
README-pwpolicy.md
New example playbooks have been added:
playbooks/pwpolicy/pwpolicy_absent.yml
playbooks/pwpolicy/pwpolicy_present.yml
New tests added for pwpolicy:
tests/pwpolicy/test_pwpolicy.yml
