      will be used instead.
    - If both the environment variable E(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 C(ipa-ca) entry.
    - If neither the DNS entry, nor the environment E(IPA_HOST), nor the value are available
      in the task, then the default value will be used.
    type: str

ipa_pass:

      to authenticate to FreeIPA.
    - If the environment variable E(KRB5CCNAME) is available, the module will use this
      kerberos credentials cache to authenticate to the FreeIPA server.
    - If the environment variable E(KRB5_CLIENT_KTNAME) is available, and E(KRB5CCNAME)
      is not; the module will use this kerberos keytab to authenticate.
