state:
    choices:

    default: present
    description:
    - The state of the attribute values. If C(present), all given values will be added
      if they're missing. If C(absent), all given values will be removed if present. If
      C(exact), the set of values will be forced to exactly those provided and no others.
      If I(state=exact) and I(value) is an empty list, all values for this attribute will
      be removed.

values:
    description:

    description:
    - The O(server_uri) parameter may be a comma- or whitespace-separated list of URIs

    - The default value lets the underlying LDAP client library look for a UNIX domain
      socket in its default location.
    - Note that when using multiple URIs you cannot determine to which URI your client
      gets connected.
    - For URIs containing additional fields, particularly when using commas, behavior

      (C({x})).
