community.crypto.openssl_pkcs12 module – Generate OpenSSL PKCS#12 archive
Note
This module is part of the community.crypto collection (version 2.5.0).
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 community.crypto.
To use it in a playbook, specify: community.crypto.openssl_pkcs12.
Synopsis
This module allows one to (re-)generate PKCS#12.
The module can use the cryptography Python library, or the pyOpenSSL Python library. By default, it tries to detect which one is available, assuming none of the iter_size and maciter_size options are used. This can be overridden with the select_crypto_backend option.
Requirements
The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.
PyOpenSSL >= 0.15 or cryptography >= 3.0
Parameters

Choices:
|
|
The attributes the resulting filesystem object 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 |

Create a backup file including a timestamp so you can get the original output file back if you overwrote it with a new one by accident. Choices:
|
|
The path to read certificates and private keys from. Must be in PEM format. |
|
Should the file be regenerated even if it already exists. Choices:
|
|
Specifies the friendly name for the certificate and private key. |
|
Name of the group that should own the filesystem object, as would be fed to chown. When left unspecified, it uses the current group of the current user unless you are root, in which case it can preserve the previous ownership. |

Number of times to repeat the encryption step. This is not considered during idempotency checks. This is only used by the |

|
The permissions the resulting filesystem object should have. For those used to /usr/bin/chmod remember that modes are actually octal numbers. You must either add a leading zero so that Ansible’s YAML parser knows it is an octal number (like Giving Ansible a number without following one of these rules will end up with a decimal number which will have unexpected results. As of Ansible 1.8, the mode may be specified as a symbolic mode (for example, If If Specifying |

List of other certificates to include. Pre Ansible 2.8 this parameter was called ca_certificates. Assumes there is one PEM-encoded certificate per file. If a file contains multiple PEM certificates, set other_certificates_parse_all to |

If set to Choices:
|
|
Name of the user that should own the filesystem object, as would be fed to chown. When left unspecified, it uses the current user unless you are root, in which case it can preserve the previous ownership. |
|
The PKCS#12 password. Note: PKCS12 encryption is not secure and should not be used as a security mechanism. If you need to store or send a PKCS12 file safely, you should additionally encrypt it with something else. |
|
Filename to write the PKCS#12 file to. |
|
Content of the private key file. Mutually exclusive with privatekey_path. |
|
Passphrase source to decrypt any input private keys with. |
|
File to read private key from. Mutually exclusive with privatekey_content. |
|
If set to Choices:

Determines which crypto backend to use. The default choice is If set to If set to Choices:

Whether the file should exist or not. All parameters except Choices:

|
Influence when to use atomic operation to prevent data corruption or inconsistent reads from the target filesystem object. By default this module uses atomic operations to prevent data corruption or inconsistent reads from the target filesystem objects, but sometimes systems are configured or just broken in ways that prevent this. One example is docker mounted filesystem objects, 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 filesystem objects 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. Choices:
