@anupamaloke when can we expect these new enhancements to be available. is there any timelines for the future releases.

[anupamaloke]

@dileepbg, we are actively looking into these feature requests. There is already an in-flight Q1 release for PowerScale ansible modules that the team is currently working on and which will be released next month. Post that, the team will be picking these requirements for planning.

In the meantime, one way to achieve this would be by making direct REST API calls using the ansible.builtin.uri module to the PowerScale REST APIs:

• List all KRB5 providers: /platform/1/auth/providers/krb5
• Create a new KRB5 provider: /platform/1/auth/providers/krb5
• Delete the KRB5 provider: /platform/1/auth/providers/krb5/{v1ProvidersKrb5Id}
• Retrieve the KRB5 provider: /platform/1/auth/providers/krb5/{v1ProvidersKrb5Id}
• Modify the KRB5 provider: /platform/1/auth/providers/krb5/{v1ProvidersKrb5Id}

Also, let us know if you would like to contribute a working module. That would really be awesome and we will work with you to take the contribution forward.
