Issues

• It is not advised to execute this role from ansible running on python-virtualenv on Ubuntu16.04 locally due to this issue . Also have a look at same issue here and here for other ipaclient-installer script issues
• Freeipa-admintools is available only in Ubuntu16.04, So Debian 7,8 and Ubuntu 12.04 and 14.04 support not present for this role
• rpcbind installation hangs when installing ipa-client on CentOS7 image rpcbind installation hangs the both ansibe playbook and docker exec commands alike, hence add it to image directly as a necessary package.
