      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.

      in the task, then the default value will be used.

      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.
