host:
    description:
    - List of hosts that belong to the host-group.
    - If an empty list is passed all hosts will be removed from the group.
    - If option is omitted hosts will not be checked or changed.

state:
    choices:

ipa_host:
    default: ipa.example.com
    description:
    - IP or hostname of IPA server.
    - If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(IPA_HOST)
      will be used instead.
    - If both the environment variable C(IPA_HOST) and the value are not specified in
      the task, then DNS will be used to try to discover the FreeIPA server.
    - The relevant entry needed in FreeIPA is the 'ipa-ca' entry.
    - If neither the DNS entry, nor the environment C(IPA_HOST), nor the value are available
      in the task, then the default value will be used.
    - Environment variable fallback mechanism is added in Ansible 2.5.
    type: str

ipa_pass:
    description:
    - Password of administrative user.
    - If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(IPA_PASS)
      will be used instead.
    - Note that if the 'urllib_gssapi' library is available, it is possible to use GSSAPI
      to authenticate to FreeIPA.
    - If the environment variable C(KRB5CCNAME) is available, the module will use this
      kerberos credentials cache to authenticate to the FreeIPA server.
    - If the environment variable C(KRB5_CLIENT_KTNAME) is available, and C(KRB5CCNAME)
      is not; the module will use this kerberos keytab to authenticate.
    - If GSSAPI is not available, the usage of 'ipa_pass' is required.
    - Environment variable fallback mechanism is added in Ansible 2.5.
    type: str

ipa_port:
    default: 443
    description:
    - Port of FreeIPA / IPA server.
