The scenario was only runnable by hand so far, which defeats its purpose. Podman is already installed and configured on the runners, so the job only has to add molecule itself. The repository is named ansible-role-certificate-authority while the role is named certificate_authority. Since the scenario includes the role by its name and uses the parent of the project directory as roles path, the checkout has to happen into a directory matching the role. The collections are declared in molecule/default/collections.yml instead of being installed by an explicit step. That is the path the collections invoker of molecule looks at by default, so the dependency action of the test sequence installs them for the workflow and for local runs alike.

# certificate-authority
|
|
|
|
This Ansible role can be used to create a root and intermediate certificate authority and issue client certificates from
|
|
them. Additionally offers the ansible role the feature to import the certificates of the authority into the systems
|
|
trust store.
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
The following minimal example creates a root and intermediate certificate authority and issues a client certificate from
|
|
the intermediate certificate authority.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
certificate_authority_client_skip: false
|
|
certificate_authority_client_common_name: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
|
|
certificate_authority_client_subject_alternative_names:
|
|
- "DNS:{{ inventory_hostname }}"
|
|
- "DNS:san.example.local"
|
|
- "IP:10.11.12.13"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Tests
|
|
|
|
The role is tested with [Molecule](https://ansible.readthedocs.io/projects/molecule/). The scenario starts one podman
|
|
container per supported distribution family, applies the role, asserts that a second run reports no change and finally
|
|
verifies the issued certificates with `openssl verify`, their file permissions and the anchor in the systems trust
|
|
store.
|
|
|
|
Molecule ships only its `default` driver, therefore `podman` is required besides molecule itself. The collections are
|
|
declared in `molecule/default/collections.yml` and installed by molecule.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install molecule
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The complete sequence creates the containers, tests them and removes them afterwards.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
molecule test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
While working on the role the containers are better kept alive.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# create the containers and apply the role
|
|
molecule converge
|
|
|
|
# run the assertions of molecule/default/verify.yml against the running containers
|
|
molecule verify
|
|
|
|
# open a shell in one of the containers
|
|
molecule login --host certificate-authority-debian
|
|
|
|
# remove the containers
|
|
molecule destroy
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
