+ Community.Crypto Release Notes
+ +v2.18.0
+Release Summary
+Bugfix and feature release.
+Minor Changes
+-
+
x509_crl - the new option
serial_numbersallow to configure in which format serial numbers can be provided torevoked_certificates[].serial_number. The default is as integers (serial_numbers=integer) for backwards compatibility; settingserial_numbers=hex-octetsallows to specify colon-separated hex octet strings like00:11:22:FF(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/issues/687, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/715).
+
Deprecated Features
+-
+
openssl_csr_pipe, openssl_privatekey_pipe, x509_certificate_pipe - the current behavior of check mode is deprecated and will change in community.crypto 3.0.0. The current behavior is similar to the modules without
_pipe: if the object needs to be (re-)generated, only thechangedstatus is set, but the object is not updated. From community.crypto 3.0.0 on, the modules will ignore check mode and always act as if check mode is not active. This behavior can already achieved now by addingcheck_mode: falseto the task. If you think this breaks your use-case of this module, please create an issue in the community.crypto repository (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/issues/712, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/714).
+
Bugfixes
+-
+
luks_device - fixed module a bug that prevented using
remove_keyslotwith the value0(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/710).
+luks_device - fixed module falsely outputting
changed=falsewhen trying to add a new slot with a key that is already present in another slot. The module now rejects adding keys that are already present in another slot (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/710).
+luks_device - fixed testing of LUKS passphrases in when specifying a keyslot for cryptsetup version 2.0.3. The output of this cryptsetup version slightly differs from later versions (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/710).

v2.17.1
+Release Summary
+Bugfix release for compatibility with cryptography 42.0.0.
+Bugfixes
+-
+
openssl_dhparam - was using an internal function instead of the public API to load DH param files when using the
cryptographybackend. The internal function was removed in cryptography 42.0.0. The module now uses the public API, which has been available since support for DH params was added to cryptography (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/698).
+openssl_privatekey_info -
check_consistency=trueno longer works for RSA keys with cryptography 42.0.0+ (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/701).

v2.14.1
+Release Summary
+Bugfix and maintenance release with updated documentation.
+From this version on, community.crypto is using the new Ansible semantic markup +in its documentation. If you look at documentation with the ansible-doc CLI tool +from ansible-core before 2.15, please note that it does not render the markup +correctly. You should be still able to read it in most cases, but you need +ansible-core 2.15 or later to see it as it is intended. Alternatively you can +look at the devel docsite +for the rendered HTML version of the documentation of the latest release.
+Bugfixes

+Minor Changes
+-
+
Prepare collection for inclusion in an Execution Environment by declaring its dependencies. Please note that system packages are used for cryptography and PyOpenSSL, which can be rather limited. If you need features from newer cryptography versions, you will have to manually force a newer version to be installed by pip by specifying something like
cryptography >= 37.0.0in your Execution Environment’s Python dependencies file (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/440).
+Support automatic conversion for Internalionalized Domain Names (IDNs). When passing general names, for example Subject Alternative Names to
community.crypto.openssl_csr, these will automatically be converted to IDNA. Conversion will be done per label to IDNA2008 if possible, and IDNA2003 if IDNA2008 conversion fails for that label. Note that IDNA conversion requires the Python idna library to be installed. Please note that depending on which versions of the cryptography library are used, it could try to process the converted IDNA another time with the Pythonidnalibrary and reject IDNA2003 encoded values. Using a new enoughcryptographyversion avoids this (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/issues/426, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/436).
+acme_* modules - add parameter
request_timeoutto manage HTTP(S) request timeout (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/issues/447, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/448).

+luks_devices - added
persistentoption when opening LUKS2 containers (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/434).
+openssl_csr_info - add
name_encodingoption to control the encoding (IDNA, Unicode) used to return domain names in general names (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/436).
+openssl_pkcs12 - allow to provide the private key as text instead of having to read it from a file. This allows to store the private key in an encrypted form, for example in Ansible Vault (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/452).
+x509_certificate_info - add
name_encodingoption to control the encoding (IDNA, Unicode) used to return domain names in general names (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/436).
+x509_crl - add
name_encodingoption to control the encoding (IDNA, Unicode) used to return domain names in general names (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/436).

+
Bugfixes
+-
+
luks_devices - set
LANGand similar environment variables to avoid translated output, which can break some of the module’s functionality like key management (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/388, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/issues/385).
+
v2.1.0

+
Bugfixes
+-
+
acme_certificate - avoid passing multiple certificates to
cryptography’s X.509 certificate loader whenfullchain_destis used (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/324).
+get_certificate, openssl_csr_info, x509_certificate_info - add fallback code for extension parsing that works with cryptography 36.0.0 and newer. This code re-serializes de-serialized extensions and thus can return slightly different values if the extension in the original CSR resp. certificate was not canonicalized correctly. This code is currently used as a fallback if the existing code stops working, but we will switch it to be the main code in a future release (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/331).
+luks_device - now also runs a built-in LUKS signature cleaner on
state=absentto make sure that also the secondary LUKS2 header is wiped when older versions of wipefs are used (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/issues/326, https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/327).
+openssl_pkcs12 - use new PKCS#12 deserialization infrastructure from cryptography 36.0.0 if available (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/302).
+
v2.0.0
+Release Summary
+A new major release of the community.crypto collection. The main changes are removal of the PyOpenSSL backends for almost all modules (openssl_pkcs12 being the only exception), and removal of the assertonly provider in the x509_certificate provider. There are also some other breaking changes which should improve the user interface/experience of this collection long-term.

cryptographyversion used, the modules might not return the ASN.1 value for an extension as contained in the certificate respectively CSR, but a re-encoded version of it. This should usually be identical to the value contained in the source file, unless the value was malformed. For extensions not handled by C(cryptography) the value contained in the source file is always returned unaltered (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/318).
+module_utils - removed various PyOpenSSL support functions and default backend values that are not needed for the openssl_pkcs12 module (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/273).
+openssl_csr, openssl_csr_pipe, x509_crl - the
subjectrespectivelyissuerfields no longer ignore empty values, but instead fail when encountering them (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/316).
+openssl_privatekey_info - by default consistency checks are not run; they need to be explicitly requested by passing
check_consistency=true(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/309).
+x509_crl - for idempotency checks, the
issuerorder is ignored. If order is important, use the newissuer_orderedoption (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/316).

+Minor Changes
+-
+
The ACME module_utils has been relicensed back from the Simplified BSD License (https://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-2-Clause) to the GPLv3+ (same license used by most other code in this collection). This undoes a licensing change when the original GPLv3+ licensed code was moved to module_utils in https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/40697 (https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/165).
+The
crypto/identify.pymodule_utils has been renamed tocrypto/pem.py(https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.crypto/pull/166).
+luks_device -

+openssl_dhparam - allow to return the existing/generated DH params directly as
dhparamsby settingreturn_contenttoyes.
+openssl_dhparam - now supports a
cryptography-based backend. Auto-detection can be overwritten with theselect_crypto_backendoption.
+openssl_pkcs12 - allow to return the existing/generated PKCS#12 directly as
pkcs12by settingreturn_contenttoyes.
+openssl_privatekey - add
formatandformat_mismatchoptions.
+openssl_privatekey - allow to return the existing/generated private key directly as
privatekeyby settingreturn_contenttoyes.
+openssl_privatekey - the
regenerateoption allows to configure the module’s behavior when it should or needs to regenerate private keys.
+openssl_privatekey_info - allow to provide private key content via
contentoption.
+openssl_publickey - allow to provide private key content via
private_key_contentoption.
+openssl_publickey - allow to return the existing/generated public key directly as
publickeyby settingreturn_contenttoyes.

Bugfixes
+-
+
ACME modules: fix bug in ACME v1 account update code
+ACME modules: make sure some connection errors are handled properly
+ACME modules: support Buypass’ ACME v1 endpoint
+acme_certificate - fix crash when module is used with Python 2.x.
+acme_certificate - fix misbehavior when ACME v1 is used with
modify_accountset tofalse.
+ecs_certificate - Always specify header
connection: keep-alivefor ECS API connections.
+ecs_certificate - Fix formatting of contents of
full_chain_path.
+get_certificate - Fix cryptography backend when pyopenssl is unavailable (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/67900)
+openssh_keypair - add logic to avoid breaking password protected keys.
+openssh_keypair - fixes idempotence issue with public key (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/64969).
+openssh_keypair - public key’s file attributes (permissions, owner, group, etc.) are now set to the same values as the private key.
+openssl_* modules - prevent crash on fingerprint determination in FIPS mode (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/67213).
+openssl_certificate - When provider is
entrust, use aconnection: keep-aliveheader for ECS API connections.
+openssl_certificate -
provideroption was documented as required, but it was not checked whether it was provided. It is now only required whenstateispresent.
+openssl_certificate - fix
assertonlyprovider certificate verification, causing ‘private key mismatch’ and ‘subject mismatch’ errors.
+openssl_certificate and openssl_csr - fix Ed25519 and Ed448 private key support for
cryptographybackend. This probably needs at least cryptography 2.8, since older versions have problems with signing certificates or CSRs with such keys. (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/59039, PR https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/63984)
+openssl_csr - a warning is issued if an unsupported value for
versionis used for thecryptographybackend.
+openssl_csr - the module will now enforce that
privatekey_pathis specified whenstate=present.
+openssl_publickey - fix a module crash caused when pyOpenSSL is not installed (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/67035).
