|
||
|
api_profile
(added in 2.5) |

|
Controls the source of the credentials to use for authentication.
If not specified, ANSIBLE_AZURE_AUTH_SOURCE environment variable will be used and default to
auto if variable is not defined.auto will follow the default precedence of module parameters -> environment variables -> default profile in credential file ~/.azure/credentials.When set to
cli, the credentials will be sources from the default Azure CLI profile.Can also be set via the
ANSIBLE_AZURE_AUTH_SOURCE environment variable.When set to
msi, the host machine must be an azure resource with an enabled MSI extension. subscription_id or the environment variable AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID can be used to identify the subscription ID if the resource is granted access to more than one subscription, otherwise the first subscription is chosen.The
msi was added in Ansible 2.6. |
