The update command ran on every play with changed_when tied to its return code, so the role never reported a converged state. It is a handler now, notified by the anchor symlink and by the three tasks which write cert.pem of the root certificate authority. Notifying from the certificate tasks as well keeps the trust store correct on renewal, where the symlink itself stays untouched. The anchor path and the update command moved into the per os_family vars, because a handler cannot read the block vars they lived in before. Debian and RedHat need dedicated files again, they agree on the package name but differ in anchor path, file extension and update command. Co-authored-by: Copilot <copilot@github.com>
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"
