Description

Allows to create, modify or delete accounts with a CA supporting the L(ACME protocol,https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8555), such as L(Let's Encrypt,https://letsencrypt.org/).

This module only works with the ACME v2 protocol.

Inputs

    
state:
    choices:
    - present
    - absent
    - changed_key
    description:
    - The state of the account, to be identified by its account key.
    - If the state is C(absent), the account will either not exist or be deactivated.
    - If the state is C(changed_key), the account must exist. The account key will be
      changed; no other information will be touched.
    required: true
    type: str

contact:
    default: []
    description:
    - A list of contact URLs.
    - Email addresses must be prefixed with C(mailto:).
    - See U(https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8555#section-7.3) for what is allowed.
    - Must be specified when state is C(present). Will be ignored if state is C(absent)
      or C(changed_key).
    elements: str
    type: list

account_uri:
    description:
    - If specified, assumes that the account URI is as given. If the account key does
      not match this account, or an account with this URI does not exist, the module fails.
    type: str

acme_version:
    choices:
    - 1
    - 2
    description:
    - The ACME version of the endpoint.
    - Must be 1 for the classic Let's Encrypt and Buypass ACME endpoints, or 2 for standardized
      ACME v2 endpoints.
    - The default value is 1. Note that in Ansible 2.14, this option *will be required*
      and will no longer have a default.
    - Please also note that we will deprecate ACME v1 support eventually.
    type: int

terms_agreed:
    default: false
    description:
    - Boolean indicating whether you agree to the terms of service document.
    - ACME servers can require this to be true.
    type: bool

acme_directory:
    description:
    - The ACME directory to use. This is the entry point URL to access CA server API.
    - For safety reasons the default is set to the Let's Encrypt staging server (for the
      ACME v1 protocol). This will create technically correct, but untrusted certificates.
    - The default value is U(https://acme-staging.api.letsencrypt.org/directory). Note
      that in Ansible 2.14, this option *will be required* and will no longer have a default.
    - 'For Let''s Encrypt, all staging endpoints can be found here: U(https://letsencrypt.org/docs/staging-environment/).
      For Buypass, all endpoints can be found here: U(https://community.buypass.com/t/63d4ay/buypass-go-ssl-endpoints)'
    - For Let's Encrypt, the production directory URL for ACME v1 is U(https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/directory),
      and the production directory URL for ACME v2 is U(https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory).
    - For Buypass, the production directory URL for ACME v2 and v1 is U(https://api.buypass.com/acme/directory).
    - '*Warning:* So far, the module has only been tested against Let''s Encrypt (staging
      and production), Buypass (staging and production), and L(Pebble testing server,https://github.com/letsencrypt/Pebble).'
    type: str

allow_creation:
    default: true
    description:
    - Whether account creation is allowed (when state is C(present)).
    type: bool

validate_certs:
    default: true
    description:
    - Whether calls to the ACME directory will validate TLS certificates.
    - '*Warning:* Should *only ever* be set to C(no) for testing purposes, for example
      when testing against a local Pebble server.'
    type: bool

account_key_src:
    aliases:
    - account_key
    description:
    - Path to a file containing the ACME account RSA or Elliptic Curve key.
    - RSA keys can be created with C(openssl genrsa ...). Elliptic curve keys can be created
      with C(openssl ecparam -genkey ...). Any other tool creating private keys in PEM
      format can be used as well.
    - Mutually exclusive with C(account_key_content).
    - Required if C(account_key_content) is not used.
    type: path

account_key_content:
    description:
    - Content of the ACME account RSA or Elliptic Curve key.
    - Mutually exclusive with C(account_key_src).
    - Required if C(account_key_src) is not used.
    - "*Warning:* the content will be written into a temporary file, which will be deleted\
      \ by Ansible when the module completes. Since this is an important private key \u2014\
      \ it can be used to change the account key, or to revoke your certificates without\
      \ knowing their private keys \u2014, this might not be acceptable."
    - In case C(cryptography) is used, the content is not written into a temporary file.
      It can still happen that it is written to disk by Ansible in the process of moving
      the module with its argument to the node where it is executed.
    type: str

new_account_key_src:
    description:
    - Path to a file containing the ACME account RSA or Elliptic Curve key to change to.
    - Same restrictions apply as to C(account_key_src).
    - Mutually exclusive with C(new_account_key_content).
    - Required if C(new_account_key_content) is not used and state is C(changed_key).
    type: path

select_crypto_backend:
    choices:
    - auto
    - cryptography
    - openssl
    default: auto
    description:
    - Determines which crypto backend to use.
    - The default choice is C(auto), which tries to use C(cryptography) if available,
      and falls back to C(openssl).
    - If set to C(openssl), will try to use the C(openssl) binary.
    - If set to C(cryptography), will try to use the L(cryptography,https://cryptography.io/)
      library.
    type: str

new_account_key_content:
    description:
    - Content of the ACME account RSA or Elliptic Curve key to change to.
    - Same restrictions apply as to C(account_key_content).
    - Mutually exclusive with C(new_account_key_src).
    - Required if C(new_account_key_src) is not used and state is C(changed_key).
    type: str

Outputs

account_uri:
  description: ACME account URI, or None if account does not exist.
