Hello,

There is an open issue about this: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/25660

You can try ansible-freeipa (https://github.com/freeipa/ansible-freeipa), that has an idempotent ipagroup module.

Regards,

Rafael

Hello,

I am working to automate my freeipa configuration (parts of it at least) and I hit a strange behavior.
I'm not sure if it's a bug or if i'm doing it wrong.

When creating a user group with the ipa_group ansible role (ansible 2.9.5) it works fine if the there are some modifications to perform or if the group doesn't exist.
But if I run it another time, the task fails with the message "msg": "response group_mod: no modifications to be performed"

It looks like the task sends a modification request with nothing to modify...

I do not see the same behavior for external groups. The tasks does nothing as expected.

Is it a known issue? Is there a workaround? Am I doing it wrong?

Here is a sample of code that generates the error.
---
- name: Playbook to configure IPA clients with username/password
hosts: localhost
become: true

tasks:
- name: "Create IPA user group"
ipa_group:
cn: "ipagroup"
external: False
state: present
validate_certs: False
ipa_host: "{{ ipaserver_host }}"
ipa_user: "{{ ipaadmin_principal }}"
ipa_pass: "{{ ipaadmin_password }}"
...

Thank you
Monkey
