f5networks.f5_modules.bigip_ssl_ocsp module – Manage OCSP configurations on BIG-IP

Note

This module is part of the f5networks.f5_modules collection (version 1.33.0).

You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install f5networks.f5_modules.

To use it in a playbook, specify: f5networks.f5_modules.bigip_ssl_ocsp.

New in f5networks.f5_modules 1.0.0

Synopsis

• Manage OCSP configurations on a BIG-IP system.

Parameters

Parameter	Comments
cache_error_timeout integer	Specifies the lifetime of an error response in the cache, in seconds.
cache_timeout string	Specifies the lifetime of the OCSP response in the cache, in seconds.
certificate string	Specifies a certificate used to sign an OCSP request.
clock_skew integer	Specifies the tolerable absolute difference in the clocks of the responder and the BIG-IP system, in seconds.
connection_timeout integer	Specifies the time interval the BIG-IP system waits for before ending the connection to the OCSP responder, in seconds.
connections_limit integer	Specifies the maximum number of connections per second allowed for the OCSP certificate validator.
dns_resolver string	Specifies the internal DNS resolver the BIG-IP system uses to fetch the OCSP response. This involves specifying one or more DNS servers in the DNS resolver configuration. Use this option when either there is a DNS server that can do the name-resolution of the OCSP responders, or the OCSP responder can be reached on one of BIG-IP system’s interfaces.
hash_algorithm string	Specifies a hash algorithm used to sign an OCSP request. Choices: "sha256" "sha1"
key string	Specifies a key used to sign an OCSP request.
name string / required	Specifies the name of the OCSP certificate validator.
partition string	Device partition to manage resources on. Default: "Common"
passphrase string	Specifies a passphrase used to sign an OCSP request.
provider dictionary added in f5networks.f5_modules 1.0.0	A dict object containing connection details.
auth_provider string	Configures the auth provider for to obtain authentication tokens from the remote device. This option is really used when working with BIG-IQ devices.
no_f5_teem boolean	If yes, TEEM telemetry data is not sent to F5. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_TELEMETRY_OFF. Previously used variable F5_TEEM is deprecated as its name was confusing. Choices: false ← (default) true
password aliases: pass, pwd string / required	The password for the user account used to connect to the BIG-IP or the BIG-IQ. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_PASSWORD.
server string / required	The BIG-IP host or the BIG-IQ host. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_SERVER.
server_port integer	The BIG-IP server port. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_SERVER_PORT. Default: 443
timeout integer	Specifies the timeout in seconds for communicating with the network device for either connecting or sending commands. If the timeout is exceeded before the operation is completed, the module will error.
transport string	Configures the transport connection to use when connecting to the remote device. Choices: "rest" ← (default)
user string / required	The username to connect to the BIG-IP or the BIG-IQ. This user must have administrative privileges on the device. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_USER.
validate_certs boolean	If no, SSL certificates are not validated. Use this only on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_VALIDATE_CERTS. Choices: false true ← (default)
proxy_server_pool string	Specifies the proxy server pool the BIG-IP system uses to fetch the OCSP response. This involves creating a pool with proxy-servers. Use this option when either the OCSP responder cannot be reached on any of BIG-IP system’s interfaces, or one or more servers can proxy an HTTP request to an external server and fetch the response.
responder_url string	Specifies the absolute URL that overrides the OCSP responder URL obtained from the certificate’s AIA extensions. This should be an HTTP-based URL.
route_domain string	Specifies the route domain for fetching an OCSP response using HTTP forward proxy.
state string	When present, ensures the resource exists. When absent, ensures the resource does not exist. Choices: "present" ← (default) "absent"
status_age integer	Specifies the maximum allowed lag time the BIG-IP system accepts for the ‘thisUpdate’ time in the OCSP response.
strict_responder_checking boolean	Specifies whether the responder’s certificate is checked for an OCSP signing extension. Choices: false true
trusted_responders string	Specifies the certificates used for validating the OCSP response when the responder’s certificate has been omitted from the response.
update_password string	always allows the user to update passwords. on_create only sets the password for newly created OCSP validators. Choices: "always" ← (default) "on_create"

Notes

Note

• Requires BIG-IP >= 13.x.

• For more information on using Ansible to manage F5 Networks devices see https://www.ansible.com/integrations/networks/f5.

• Requires BIG-IP software version >= 12.

• The F5 modules only manipulate the running configuration of the F5 product. To ensure that BIG-IP specific configuration persists to disk, be sure to include at least one task that uses the f5networks.f5_modules.bigip_config module to save the running configuration. Refer to the module’s documentation for the correct usage of the module to save your running configuration.

Examples
