The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.
| Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments | |
|---|---|---|---|
| attributes string added in 2.3 of ansible.builtin | The attributes the resulting file or directory should have. To get supported flags look at the man page for chattr on the target system. This string should contain the attributes in the same order as the one displayed by lsattr. The = operator is assumed as default, otherwise + or - operators need to be included in the string.aliases: attr | ||
| backup boolean |
| Create a backup file including a timestamp so you can get the original CRL back if you overwrote it with a new one by accident. | |
| digest string | Default: "sha256" | Digest algorithm to be used when signing the CRL. | |
| force boolean |
| Should the CRL be forced to be regenerated. | |
| format string |
| Whether the CRL file should be in PEM or DER format. If an existing CRL file does match everything but format, it will be converted to the correct format instead of regenerated. | |
| group string | Name of the group that should own the file/directory, as would be fed to chown. | ||
| ignore_timestamps boolean |
| Whether the timestamps last_update, next_update and revocation_date (in revoked_certificates) should be ignored for idempotency checks. The timestamp invalidity_date in revoked_certificates will never be ignored. Use this in combination with relative timestamps for these values to get idempotency. | |
| issuer dictionary | Key/value pairs that will be present in the issuer name field of the CRL. If you need to specify more than one value with the same key, use a list as value. Required if state is present. | ||
| last_update string | Default: "+0s" | The point in time from which this CRL can be trusted. Time can be specified either as relative time or as absolute timestamp. Time will always be interpreted as UTC. Valid format is [+-]timespec | ASN.1 TIME where timespec can be an integer + [w | d | h | m | s] (e.g. +32w1d2h.Note that if using relative time this module is NOT idempotent, except when ignore_timestamps is set to yes. | |
| mode string |
| Defines how to process entries of existing CRLs. If set to generate, makes sure that the CRL has the exact set of revoked certificates as specified in revoked_certificates.If set to update, makes sure that the CRL contains the revoked certificates from revoked_certificates, but can also contain other revoked certificates. If the CRL file already exists, all entries from the existing CRL will also be included in the new CRL. When using update, you might be interested in setting ignore_timestamps to yes. | |
| next_update string | The absolute latest point in time by which this issuer is expected to have issued another CRL. Many clients will treat a CRL as expired once next_update occurs. Time can be specified either as relative time or as absolute timestamp. Time will always be interpreted as UTC. Valid format is [+-]timespec | ASN.1 TIME where timespec can be an integer + [w | d | h | m | s] (e.g. +32w1d2h.Note that if using relative time this module is NOT idempotent, except when ignore_timestamps is set to yes.Required if state is present. | ||
| owner string | Name of the user that should own the file/directory, as would be fed to chown. | ||
| path path / required | Remote absolute path where the generated CRL file should be created or is already located. | ||
| privatekey_content string | The content of the CA's private key to use when signing the CRL. Either privatekey_path or privatekey_content must be specified if state is present, but not both. | ||
| privatekey_passphrase string | The passphrase for the privatekey_path. This is required if the private key is password protected. | ||
| privatekey_path path | Path to the CA's private key to use when signing the CRL. Either privatekey_path or privatekey_content must be specified if state is present, but not both. | ||
| return_content boolean |
| If set to yes, will return the (current or generated) CRL's content as crl. | |
| revoked_certificates list / elements=dictionary | List of certificates to be revoked. Required if state is present. | ||
| content string | Content of a certificate in PEM format. The serial number and issuer will be extracted from the certificate. Mutually exclusive with path and serial_number. One of these three options must be specified. | ||
| invalidity_date string | The point in time it was known/suspected that the private key was compromised or that the certificate otherwise became invalid. Time can be specified either as relative time or as absolute timestamp. Time will always be interpreted as UTC. Valid format is [+-]timespec | ASN.1 TIME where timespec can be an integer + [w | d | h | m | s] (e.g. +32w1d2h.Note that if using relative time this module is NOT idempotent. This will NOT change when ignore_timestamps is set to yes. | ||
| invalidity_date_critical boolean |
| Whether the invalidity date extension should be critical. | |
| issuer list / elements=string | The certificate's issuer. Example: DNS:ca.example.org
| ||
| issuer_critical boolean |
| Whether the certificate issuer extension should be critical. | |
| path path | Path to a certificate in PEM format. The serial number and issuer will be extracted from the certificate. Mutually exclusive with content and serial_number. One of these three options must be specified. | ||
| reason string |
| The value for the revocation reason extension. | |
| reason_critical boolean |
| Whether the revocation reason extension should be critical. | |
| revocation_date string | Default: "+0s" | The point in time the certificate was revoked. Time can be specified either as relative time or as absolute timestamp. Time will always be interpreted as UTC. Valid format is [+-]timespec | ASN.1 TIME where timespec can be an integer + [w | d | h | m | s] (e.g. +32w1d2h.Note that if using relative time this module is NOT idempotent, except when ignore_timestamps is set to yes. | |
| serial_number integer | Serial number of the certificate. Mutually exclusive with path and content. One of these three options must be specified. | ||
| selevel string | The level part of the SELinux file context. This is the MLS/MCS attribute, sometimes known as the range.When set to _default, it will use the level portion of the policy if available. | ||
| serole string | The role part of the SELinux file context. When set to _default, it will use the role portion of the policy if available. | ||
| setype string | The type part of the SELinux file context. When set to _default, it will use the type portion of the policy if available. | ||
| seuser string | The user part of the SELinux file context. By default it uses the system policy, where applicable.When set to _default, it will use the user portion of the policy if available. | ||
| state string |
| Whether the CRL file should exist or not, taking action if the state is different from what is stated. | |
| unsafe_writes boolean added in 2.2 of ansible.builtin |
| Influence when to use atomic operation to prevent data corruption or inconsistent reads from the target file. By default this module uses atomic operations to prevent data corruption or inconsistent reads from the target files, but sometimes systems are configured or just broken in ways that prevent this. One example is docker mounted files, 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 files when atomic operations fail (however, it doesn't force Ansible to perform unsafe writes). IMPORTANT! Unsafe writes are subject to race conditions and can lead to data corruption. | |
