The variables `certificate_authority_root_ca_subject_alternative_names` and
`certificate_authority_intermediate_ca_subject_alternative_names` were
documented but never referenced by any task, so both CA certificates were always
issued without SANs. Wire them into the corresponding CSR tasks and fall back to
`omit` when the list is empty.
SAN entries are now passed to `openssl_csr` unchanged instead of being prefixed
with `DNS:` by the role. This allows other types such as `IP:` or `email:`,
which the previous rewrite would have corrupted into values like `DNS:IP:...`.
The client tasks additionally dropped `join(',') | quote`, because `quote`
performs shell escaping and `openssl_csr` expects a list.
Since both client CSR tasks only differed in `subject_alt_name`, they collapse
into a single task per file.
BREAKING CHANGE: Entries of all `*_subject_alternative_names` variables must now
carry their type prefix, for example `DNS:example.local` instead of
`example.local`.

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.
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"
