Ansible Openssl Generate Private Key

  • This module allows one to (re)generate OpenSSL public keys from their private keys.
  • Keys are generated in PEM or OpenSSH format.
  • The module can use the cryptography Python library, or the pyOpenSSL Python library. By default, it tries to detect which one is available. This can be overridden with the select_crypto_backend option. When format is OpenSSH, the cryptography backend has to be used. Please note that the PyOpenSSL backend was deprecated in Ansible 2.9 and will be removed in Ansible 2.13.”

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

Dec 08, 2019 I would prefer if it is possible to configure the behavior of opensshkeypair and opensslprivatekey similarly to dockervolume. (Currently independent of how the default of the new option will look like - I always prefer backwards compatibility, but I can live with changes as long as I can set this option to whatever value I prefer.). Mar 30, 2020  Opensslprivatekey - To generate private key Opensslcsr - To generate csr file Opensslcertificate - To Generate certificate Before we start this tutorial we read example and doc of all module ansible-doc opensslprivatekey ansible-doc opensslcsr ansible-doc opensslcertificate. Step 1: Go to ansible main directory and create yml file with. SSH Key based authentication setup using ansible. In this post, we are going to see how to enable the SSH key-based authentication between two remote servers using ansible by creating and exchanging the keys. We are going to use ansible built-in modules like Shell. This module allows one to (re)generate OpenSSL public keys from their private keys. Keys are generated in PEM or OpenSSH format. The module can use the cryptography Python library, or the pyOpenSSL Python library.

  • Either cryptography >= 1.2.3 (older versions might work as well)
  • Or pyOpenSSL >= 16.0.0
  • Needs cryptography >= 1.4 if format is OpenSSH

Ansible Create Public Ssh Key

ParameterChoices/DefaultsComments
attributes
string
The attributes the resulting file or directory should have.
To get supported flags look at the man page for chattr on the target system.
This string should contain the attributes in the same order as the one displayed by lsattr.
The = operator is assumed as default, otherwise + or - operators need to be included in the string.
backup
added in 2.8
    Choices:
  • yes
Create a backup file including a timestamp so you can get the original public key back if you overwrote it with a different one by accident.
force
boolean
    Choices:
  • yes
Should the key be regenerated even it it already exists.
format
string
    Choices:
  • OpenSSH
  • PEM
group
Name of the group that should own the file/directory, as would be fed to chown.
mode
string
The permissions the resulting file or directory should have.
For those used to /usr/bin/chmod remember that modes are actually octal numbers. You must either add a leading zero so that Ansible's YAML parser knows it is an octal number (like 0644 or 01777) or quote it (like '644' or '1777') so Ansible receives a string and can do its own conversion from string into number.
Giving Ansible a number without following one of these rules will end up with a decimal number which will have unexpected results.
As of Ansible 1.8, the mode may be specified as a symbolic mode (for example, u+rwx or u=rw,g=r,o=r).
As of Ansible 2.6, the mode may also be the special string preserve.
When set to preserve the file will be given the same permissions as the source file.
owner
string
Name of the user that should own the file/directory, as would be fed to chown.
path
path / required
Name of the file in which the generated TLS/SSL public key will be written.
privatekey_passphrase
string
The passphrase for the private key.
privatekey_path
path
Path to the TLS/SSL private key from which to generate the public key.
select_crypto_backend
added in 2.9
    Choices:
  • cryptography
  • pyopenssl
Determines which crypto backend to use.
The default choice is auto, which tries to use cryptography if available, and falls back to pyopenssl.
If set to pyopenssl, will try to use the pyOpenSSL library.
If set to cryptography, will try to use the cryptography library.
selevel
string
Default:
The level part of the SELinux file context.
This is the MLS/MCS attribute, sometimes known as the range.
When set to _default, it will use the level portion of the policy if available.
serole
string
When set to _default, it will use the role portion of the policy if available.
setype
string
When set to _default, it will use the type portion of the policy if available.
seuser
string
By default it uses the system policy, where applicable.
When set to _default, it will use the user portion of the policy if available.
state
string
    Choices:
  • absent
Whether the public key should exist or not, taking action if the state is different from what is stated.
unsafe_writes
boolean
    Choices:
  • yes
Influence when to use atomic operation to prevent data corruption or inconsistent reads from the target file.
By default this module uses atomic operations to prevent data corruption or inconsistent reads from the target files, but sometimes systems are configured or just broken in ways that prevent this. One example is docker mounted files, which cannot be updated atomically from inside the container and can only be written in an unsafe manner.
This option allows Ansible to fall back to unsafe methods of updating files when atomic operations fail (however, it doesn't force Ansible to perform unsafe writes).
IMPORTANT! Unsafe writes are subject to race conditions and can lead to data corruption.
