ansible / ansible.builtin / v2.9.18 / module / openssl_certificate Generate and/or check OpenSSL certificates | "added in version" 2.4 of ansible.builtin" Authors: Yanis Guenane (@Spredzy), Markus Teufelberger (@MarkusTeufelberger) preview | supported by communityansible.builtin.openssl_certificate (v2.9.18) — module
pip
Install with pip install ansible==2.9.18
This module allows one to (re)generate OpenSSL certificates.
It implements a notion of provider (ie. C(selfsigned), C(ownca), C(acme), C(assertonly), C(entrust)) for your certificate.
The C(assertonly) provider is intended for use cases where one is only interested in checking properties of a supplied certificate. Please note that this provider has been deprecated in Ansible 2.9 and will be removed in Ansible 2.13. See the examples on how to emulate C(assertonly) usage with M(openssl_certificate_info), M(openssl_csr_info), M(openssl_privatekey_info) and M(assert). This also allows more flexible checks than the ones offered by the C(assertonly) provider.
The C(ownca) provider is intended for generating OpenSSL certificate signed with your own CA (Certificate Authority) certificate (self-signed certificate).
Many properties that can be specified in this module are for validation of an existing or newly generated certificate. The proper place to specify them, if you want to receive a certificate with these properties is a CSR (Certificate Signing Request).
Please note that the module regenerates existing certificate if it doesn't match the module's options, or if it seems to be corrupt. If you are concerned that this could overwrite your existing certificate, consider using the I(backup) option.
It uses the pyOpenSSL or cryptography python library to interact with OpenSSL.
If both the cryptography and PyOpenSSL libraries are available (and meet the minimum version requirements) cryptography will be preferred as a backend over PyOpenSSL (unless the backend is forced with C(select_crypto_backend)). Please note that the PyOpenSSL backend was deprecated in Ansible 2.9 and will be removed in Ansible 2.13.

mode: description: - The permissions the resulting filesystem object should have. - For those used to I(/usr/bin/chmod) remember that modes are actually octal numbers. You must give Ansible enough information to parse them correctly. For consistent results, quote octal numbers (for example, V('644') or V('1777')) so Ansible receives a string and can do its own conversion from string into number. Adding a leading zero (for example, V(0755)) works sometimes, but can fail in loops and some other circumstances. - Giving Ansible a number without following either of these rules will end up with a decimal number which will have unexpected results. - As of Ansible 1.8, the mode may be specified as a symbolic mode (for example, V(u+rwx) or V(u=rw,g=r,o=r)). - If O(mode) is not specified and the destination filesystem object B(does not) exist, the default C(umask) on the system will be used when setting the mode for the newly created filesystem object. - If O(mode) is not specified and the destination filesystem object B(does) exist, the mode of the existing filesystem object will be used. - Specifying O(mode) is the best way to ensure filesystem objects are created with the correct permissions. See CVE-2020-1736 for further details. type: raw path: description: - Remote absolute path where the generated certificate file should be created or is already located. required: true type: path force: default: false description: - Generate the certificate, even if it already exists. type: bool group: description: - Name of the group that should own the filesystem object, as would be fed to I(chown). - When left unspecified, it uses the current group of the current user unless you are root, in which case it can preserve the previous ownership. type: str owner: description: - Name of the user that should own the filesystem object, as would be fed to I(chown). - When left unspecified, it uses the current user unless you are root, in which case it can preserve the previous ownership. - Specifying a numeric username will be assumed to be a user ID and not a username. Avoid numeric usernames to avoid this confusion. type: str state: choices: - absent - present default: present description: - Whether the certificate should exist or not, taking action if the state is different from what is stated. type: str backup: default: false description: - Create a backup file including a timestamp so you can get the original certificate back if you overwrote it with a new one by accident. - This is not used by the C(assertonly) provider. - This option is deprecated since Ansible 2.9 and will be removed with the C(assertonly) provider in Ansible 2.13.

One example is docker mounted filesystem objects, which cannot be updated atomically from inside the container and can only be written in an unsafe manner. - This option allows Ansible to fall back to unsafe methods of updating filesystem objects when atomic operations fail (however, it doesn't force Ansible to perform unsafe writes). - IMPORTANT!
