+  - Allows to choose to leverage authenticaiton with roles that
+    interact with ironic services via ansible modules. This is
+    limited to sessions that obtain authentication information
+    via os-client-config. The role defaults ultimately remain
+    unchanged and default to noauth mode.  More information on
+    os-client-config can be found at:
+    http://docs.openstack.org/developer/os-client-config/
+issues:
+  - Users wishing to utilize authentication without leveraging
+    os-client-config, will need to manually update the playbooks
+    in order to set the appropriate module settings.
