Options

parameter required default choices comments
aws_access_key

name

Name of certificate to add, update or remove.
new_name
 no
When state is present, this will update the name of the cert.
The cert, key and cert_chain parameters will be ignored if this is defined.
new_path

Examples

# Basic server certificate upload from local file
- iam_cert:
    name: very_ssl
    state: present
    cert: "{{ lookup('file', 'path/to/cert') }}"
    key: "{{ lookup('file', 'path/to/key') }}"
    cert_chain: "{{ lookup('file', 'path/to/certchain') }}"

# Basic server certificate upload
- iam_cert:
    name: very_ssl
    state: present
    cert: path/to/cert
    key: path/to/key
    cert_chain: path/to/certchain

# Server certificate upload using key string
- iam_cert:
    name: very_ssl
    state: present
    path: "/a/cert/path/"
    cert: body_of_somecert
    key: vault_body_of_privcertkey
    cert_chain: body_of_myverytrustedchain

# Basic rename of existing certificate
- iam_cert:
    name: very_ssl
    new_name: new_very_ssl
    state: present

Notes

Note

  • If parameters are not set within the module, the following environment variables can be used in decreasing order of precedence AWS_URL or EC2_URL, AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID or AWS_ACCESS_KEY or EC2_ACCESS_KEY, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY or AWS_SECRET_KEY or EC2_SECRET_KEY, AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN or EC2_SECURITY_TOKEN, AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION
  • Ansible uses the boto configuration file (typically ~/.boto) if no credentials are provided. See http://boto.readthedocs.org/en/latest/boto_config_tut.html
  • AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION can be typically be used to specify the AWS region, when required, but this can also be configured in the boto config file
