Parameters

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
certificate
string / required
Certificate that should be used to create the key store.
dest
path / required
Absolute path where the jks should be generated.
force
boolean
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
Key store will be created even if it already exists.
group
string
Name of the group that should own jks file.
mode
raw
Mode the file should be.
name
string / required
Name of the certificate.
owner
string
Name of the user that should own jks file.
password
string / required
Password that should be used to secure the key store.
private_key
string / required
Private key that should be used to create the key store.
private_key_passphrase
string
added in 0.2.0 of community.general
Pass phrase for reading the private key, if required.
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 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.
unsafe_writes
boolean
added in 2.2 of ansible.builtin
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
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.

- name: Create a key store for the given certificate (inline)
  community.general.java_keystore:
    name: example
    certificate: |
      -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

      -----END CERTIFICATE-----
    private_key: |
      -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
      DBVFTEVDVFJJQ0lURSBERSBGUkFOQ0UxFzAVBgNVBAsMDjAwMDIgNTUyMDgxMzE3
      GLlDNMw/uHyME7gHFsqJA7O11VY6O5WQ4IDP3m/s5ZV6s+Nn6Lerz17VZ99
      -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
    password: changeit
    dest: /etc/security/keystore.jks
