netapp.ontap.na_ontap_security_certificates module – NetApp ONTAP manage security certificates.

Note

This module is part of the netapp.ontap collection (version 22.13.0).

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 netapp.ontap. You need further requirements to be able to use this module, see Requirements for details.

To use it in a playbook, specify: netapp.ontap.na_ontap_security_certificates.

New in netapp.ontap 20.7.0

Synopsis

• Install or delete security certificates on ONTAP. (Create and sign will come in a second iteration)

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

• Ansible 2.9 or later - 2.12 or later is recommended.

• Python3 - 3.9 or later is recommended.

• When using ZAPI, netapp-lib 2018.11.13 or later (install using ‘pip install netapp-lib’), netapp-lib 2020.3.12 is strongly recommended as it provides better error reporting for connection issues.

• A physical or virtual clustered Data ONTAP system, the modules support Data ONTAP 9.1 and onward, REST support requires ONTAP 9.6 or later.

Parameters

Parameter	Comments
cert_filepath string added in netapp.ontap 20.6.0	path to SSL client cert file (.pem). not supported with python 2.6.
common_name string	Common name of the certificate. Required for create and install. If name is present, ignored for sign and delete. If name is absent or ignored, required for sign and delete.
expiry_time string	Certificate expiration time. Specifying an expiration time is recommended when creating a certificate. Can be provided when signing a certificate.
feature_flags dictionary added in netapp.ontap 20.5.0	Enable or disable a new feature. This can be used to enable an experimental feature or disable a new feature that breaks backward compatibility. Supported keys and values are subject to change without notice. Unknown keys are ignored.
force_ontap_version string added in netapp.ontap 21.23.0	Override the cluster ONTAP version when using REST. The behavior is undefined if the version does not match the target cluster. This is provided as a work-around when the cluster version cannot be read because of permission issues. See https://github.com/ansible-collections/netapp.ontap/wiki/Known-issues. This should be in the form 9.10 or 9.10.1 with each element being an integer number. When use_rest is set to auto, this may force a switch to ZAPI based on the version and platform capabilities. Ignored with ZAPI.
hash_function string	Hashing function. Can be provided when creating a self-signed certificate or when signing a certificate. Allowed values for create and sign are sha256, sha224, sha384, sha512.
hostname string / required	The hostname or IP address of the ONTAP instance.
http_port integer	Override the default port (80 or 443) with this port
https boolean	Enable and disable https. Ignored when using REST as only https is supported. Ignored when using SSL certificate authentication as it requires SSL. Choices: false ← (default) true
ignore_name_if_not_supported boolean added in netapp.ontap 20.8.0	ONTAP 9.6 and 9.7 REST API does not support name. If set to true, no error is reported if name is present, and name is not used. Choices: false true ← (default)
intermediate_certificates list / elements=string	Chain of intermediate Certificates in PEM format. Only valid when installing a certificate.
key_filepath string added in netapp.ontap 20.6.0	path to SSL client key file.
key_size integer	Key size of the certificate in bits. Specifying a strong key size is recommended when creating a certificate. Ignored for sign and delete.
name string	The unique name of the security certificate per SVM. This parameter is not supported for ONTAP 9.6 or 9.7, as the REST API does not support it. If present with ONTAP 9.6 or 9.7, it is ignored by default, see ignore_name_if_not_supported. It is strongly recommended to use name for newer releases of ONTAP.
ontapi integer	The ontap api version to use
password aliases: pass string	Password for the specified user.
private_key string	Private key certificate in PEM format. Required when installing a CA-signed certificate. Ignored otherwise.
public_certificate string	Public key certificate in PEM format. Required when installing a certificate. Ignored otherwise.
signing_request string	If present, the certificate identified by name and svm is used to sign the request. A signed certificate is returned.
state string	Whether the specified security certificate should exist or not. Choices: "present" ← (default) "absent"
svm aliases: vserver string	The name of the SVM (vserver). If present, the certificate is installed in the SVM. If absent, the certificate is installed in the cluster.
type string	Type of certificate Required for create and install. If name is present, ignored for sign and delete. If name is absent or ignored, required for sign and delete. Choices: "client" "server" "client_ca" "server_ca" "root_ca"
use_rest string	Whether to use REST or ZAPI. always – will always use the REST API if the module supports REST. A warning is issued if the module does not support REST. An error is issued if a module option is not supported in REST. never – will always use ZAPI if the module supports ZAPI. An error may be issued if a REST option is not supported in ZAPI. auto – will try to use the REST API if the module supports REST and modules options are supported. Reverts to ZAPI otherwise. Default: "auto"
username aliases: user string	This can be a Cluster-scoped or SVM-scoped account, depending on whether a Cluster-level or SVM-level API is required. For more information, please read the documentation https://mysupport.netapp.com/NOW/download/software/nmsdk/9.4/. Two authentication methods are supported basic authentication, using username and password, SSL certificate authentication, using a ssl client cert file, and optionally a private key file. To use a certificate, the certificate must have been installed in the ONTAP cluster, and cert authentication must have been enabled.
validate_certs boolean	If set to no, the SSL certificates will not be validated. This should only set to False used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates. Choices: false true ← (default)

Notes

Note

• supports check mode.

• only supports REST. Requires ONTAP 9.6 or later, ONTAP 9.8 or later is recommended.

• The modules prefixed with na_ontap are built to support the ONTAP storage platform.

• https is enabled by default and recommended. To enable http on the cluster you must run the following commands ‘set -privilege advanced;’ ‘system services web modify -http-enabled true;’
