Return Values

Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:

Key		Returned	Description
digest string		success	The signature algorithm used to sign the CRL. Sample: sha256WithRSAEncryption
format string		success	Whether the CRL is in PEM format (pem) or in DER format (der). Sample: pem
issuer dictionary		success	The CRL's issuer. Note that for repeated values, only the last one will be returned. Sample: {"organizationName": "Ansible", "commonName": "ca.example.com"}
issuer_ordered list / elements=list		success	The CRL's issuer as an ordered list of tuples. Sample: [["organizationName", "Ansible"], ["commonName": "ca.example.com"]]
last_update string		success	The point in time from which this CRL can be trusted as ASN.1 TIME. Sample: 20190413202428Z
next_update string		success	The point in time from which a new CRL will be issued and the client has to check for it as ASN.1 TIME. Sample: 20190413202428Z
revoked_certificates list / elements=dictionary		success	List of certificates to be revoked.
	invalidity_date string	success	The point in time it was known/suspected that the private key was compromised or that the certificate otherwise became invalid as ASN.1 TIME. Sample: 20190413202428Z
	invalidity_date_critical boolean	success	Whether the invalidity date extension is critical.
	issuer list / elements=string	success	The certificate's issuer. Sample: ["DNS:ca.example.org"]
	issuer_critical boolean	success	Whether the certificate issuer extension is critical.
	reason string	success	The value for the revocation reason extension. One of unspecified, key_compromise, ca_compromise, affiliation_changed, superseded, cessation_of_operation, certificate_hold, privilege_withdrawn, aa_compromise, and remove_from_crl. Sample: key_compromise
	reason_critical boolean	success	Whether the revocation reason extension is critical.
	revocation_date string	success	The point in time the certificate was revoked as ASN.1 TIME. Sample: 20190413202428Z
	serial_number integer	success	Serial number of the certificate. Sample: 1234
