Cert module
============
Description
-----------
The cert module makes it possible to request, revoke and retrieve SSL certificates for hosts, services and users.
Features
--------
* Certificate request
* Certificate hold/release
* Certificate revocation
* Certificate retrieval
Supported FreeIPA Versions
--------------------------
FreeIPA versions 4.4.0 and up are supported by the ipacert module.
Requirements
------------
**Controller**
* Ansible version: 2.14+
* Some tool to generate a certificate signing request (CSR) might be needed, like `openssl`.
**Node**
* Supported FreeIPA version (see above)
Usage
=====
Example inventory file
```ini
[ipaserver]
ipaserver.test.local
```
Example playbook to request a new certificate for a service:
```yaml
---
- name: Certificate request
hosts: ipaserver
tasks:
- name: Request a certificate for a web server
ipacert:
ipaadmin_password: SomeADMINpassword
state: requested
csr: |
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----

SYaXm/gF8cDYjQI=
-----END CERTIFICATE REQUEST-----
principal: HTTP/www.example.com
register: cert
```
Example playbook to revoke an existing certificate:
```yaml
---
- name: Revoke certificate
hosts: ipaserver
tasks:
- name Revoke a certificate
ipacert:
ipaadmin_password: SomeADMINpassword
serial_number: 123456789
reason: 5
state: revoked
```
When revoking a certificate a mnemonic can also be used to set the revocation reason:
```yaml
---
- name: Revoke certificate
hosts: ipaserver
tasks:
- name Revoke a certificate
ipacert:
ipaadmin_password: SomeADMINpassword
serial_number: 123456789
reason: cessationOfOperation
state: revoked
```
Example to hold a certificate (alias for revoking a certificate with reason `certificateHold (6)`):
```yaml
---
- name: Hold a certificate
hosts: ipaserver
tasks:
- name: Hold certificate
ipacert:
ipaadmin_password: SomeADMINpassword
serial_number: 0xAB1234
state: held
```
Example playbook to release hold of certificate (may be used with any revoked certificates, despite of the rovoke reason):
```yaml
---
- name: Release hold
hosts: ipaserver
tasks:
- name: Take a revoked certificate off hold
ipacert:
ipaadmin_password: SomeADMINpassword
serial_number: 0xAB1234
state: released
```
Example playbook to retrieve a certificate and save it to a file in the target node:
```yaml
---
- name: Retriev certificate
hosts: ipaserver
tasks:
- name: Retrieve a certificate and save it to file 'cert.pem'
ipacert:
ipaadmin_password: SomeADMINpassword
certificate_out: cert.pem
state: retrieved
```
ipacert
-------
Variable | Description | Required
-------- | ----------- | --------
`ipaadmin_principal` | The admin principal is a string and defaults to `admin` | no
`ipaadmin_password` | The admin password is a string and is required if there is no admin ticket available on the node | no
`ipaapi_context` | The context in which the module will execute. Executing in a server context is preferred. If not provided context will be determined by the execution environment. Valid values are `server` and `client`. | no
`ipaapi_ldap_cache` | Use LDAP cache for IPA connection. The bool setting defaults to yes. (bool) | no
`csr` | X509 certificate signing request, in PEM format. | yes, if `state: requested`
`principal` | Host/service/user principal for the certificate. | yes, if `state: requested`
`add` \| `add_principal` | Automatically add the principal if it doesn't exist (service principals only). (bool) | no
`profile_id` \| `profile` | Certificate Profile to use | no
`ca` | Name of the issuing certificate authority. | no
`chain` | Include certificate chain in output. (bool) | no
`serial_number` | Certificate serial number. (int) | yes, if `state` is `retrieved`, `held`, `released` or `revoked`.
`revocation_reason` \| `reason` | Reason for revoking the certificate. Use one of the reason strings, or the corresponding value: "unspecified" (0), "keyCompromise" (1), "cACompromise" (2), "affiliationChanged" (3), "superseded" (4), "cessationOfOperation" (5), "certificateHold" (6), "removeFromCRL" (8), "privilegeWithdrawn" (9), "aACompromise" (10) | yes, if `state: revoked`
`certificate_out` | Write certificate (chain if `chain` is set) to this file, on the target node. | no
`state` | The state to ensure. It can be one of `requested`, `held`, `released`, `revoked`, or `retrieved`. `held` is the same as revoke with reason "certificateHold" (6). `released` is the same as `cert-revoke-hold` on IPA CLI, releasing the hold status of a certificate. | yes
Return Values
=============
Values are returned only if `state` is `requested` or `retrieved` and if `certificate_out` is not defined.
