Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
aws_access_key
string
AWS access key. If not set then the value of the AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_ACCESS_KEY or EC2_ACCESS_KEY environment variable is used.

aliases: ec2_access_key, access_key
aws_secret_key
string
AWS secret key. If not set then the value of the AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SECRET_KEY, or EC2_SECRET_KEY environment variable is used.

aliases: ec2_secret_key, secret_key
cert
string
The path to, or content of the certificate body in PEM encoded format. As of 2.4 content is accepted. If the parameter is not a file, it is assumed to be content.
cert_chain
string
The path to, or content of the CA certificate chain in PEM encoded format. As of 2.4 content is accepted. If the parameter is not a file, it is assumed to be content.
debug_botocore_endpoint_logs
boolean
added in 2.8
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
Use a botocore.endpoint logger to parse the unique (rather than total) "resource:action" API calls made during a task, outputing the set to the resource_actions key in the task results. Use the aws_resource_action callback to output to total list made during a playbook. The ANSIBLE_DEBUG_BOTOCORE_LOGS environment variable may also be used.
dup_ok
boolean
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
By default the module will not upload a certificate that is already uploaded into AWS. If set to True, it will upload the certificate as long as the name is unique.
ec2_url
string
Url to use to connect to EC2 or your Eucalyptus cloud (by default the module will use EC2 endpoints). Ignored for modules where region is required. Must be specified for all other modules if region is not used. If not set then the value of the EC2_URL environment variable, if any, is used.
key
string
The path to, or content of the private key in PEM encoded format. As of 2.4 content is accepted. If the parameter is not a file, it is assumed to be content.
name
string / required
Name of certificate to add, update or remove.
new_name
string
When state is present, this will update the name of the cert.
The cert, key and cert_chain parameters will be ignored if this is defined.
new_path
string
When state is present, this will update the path of the cert.
The cert, key and cert_chain parameters will be ignored if this is defined.
path
string
Default:
"/"
When creating or updating, specify the desired path of the certificate.
profile
string
Uses a boto profile. Only works with boto >= 2.24.0.
region
string
The AWS region to use. If not specified then the value of the AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION environment variable, if any, is used. See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#ec2_region

aliases: aws_region, ec2_region
security_token
string
AWS STS security token. If not set then the value of the AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN or EC2_SECURITY_TOKEN environment variable is used.

aliases: access_token
state
string / required
    Choices:
  • present
  • absent
Whether to create(or update) or delete certificate.
If new_path or new_name is defined, specifying present will attempt to make an update these.
validate_certs
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes ←
When set to "no", SSL certificates will not be validated for boto versions >= 2.6.0.

Notes

Note

  • If parameters are not set within the module, the following environment variables can be used in decreasing order of precedence AWS_URL or EC2_URL, AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID or AWS_ACCESS_KEY or EC2_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY or AWS_SECRET_KEY or EC2_SECRET_KEY, AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN or EC2_SECURITY_TOKEN, AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION

  • Ansible uses the boto configuration file (typically ~/.boto) if no credentials are provided. See https://boto.readthedocs.io/en/latest/boto_config_tut.html

  • AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION can be typically be used to specify the AWS region, when required, but this can also be configured in the boto config file

Examples

# Basic server certificate upload from local file
- iam_cert:
    name: very_ssl
    state: present
    cert: "{{ lookup('file', 'path/to/cert') }}"
    key: "{{ lookup('file', 'path/to/key') }}"
    cert_chain: "{{ lookup('file', 'path/to/certchain') }}"

# Basic server certificate upload
- iam_cert:
    name: very_ssl
    state: present
    cert: path/to/cert
    key: path/to/key
    cert_chain: path/to/certchain

# Server certificate upload using key string
- iam_cert:
    name: very_ssl
    state: present
    path: "/a/cert/path/"
    cert: body_of_somecert
    key: vault_body_of_privcertkey
    cert_chain: body_of_myverytrustedchain

# Basic rename of existing certificate
