community.aws.iam_server_certificate module – Manage IAM server certificates for use on ELBs and CloudFront

Note

This module is part of the community.aws collection (version 10.1.0).

You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install community.aws. You need further requirements to be able to use this module, see Requirements for details.

To use it in a playbook, specify: community.aws.iam_server_certificate.

New in community.aws 1.0.0

Synopsis

Allows for the management of IAM server certificates.

Requirements

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

python >= 3.6
boto3 >= 1.34.0
botocore >= 1.34.0

Parameters

Parameter	Comments
access_key aliases: aws_access_key_id, aws_access_key string	AWS access key ID. See the AWS documentation for more information about access tokens https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-sec-cred-types.html#access-keys-and-secret-access-keys. The `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` or `AWS_ACCESS_KEY` environment variables may also be used in decreasing order of preference. The aws_access_key and profile options are mutually exclusive. The aws_access_key_id alias was added in release 5.1.0 for consistency with the AWS botocore SDK.
aws_ca_bundle path	The location of a CA Bundle to use when validating SSL certificates. The `AWS_CA_BUNDLE` environment variable may also be used.
aws_config dictionary	A dictionary to modify the botocore configuration. Parameters can be found in the AWS documentation https://botocore.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/config.html#botocore.config.Config.
cert string	The content of the certificate body in PEM encoded format.
cert_chain string	The content of the CA certificate chain in PEM encoded format.
debug_botocore_endpoint_logs boolean	Use a `botocore.endpoint` logger to parse the unique (rather than total) `"resource:action"` API calls made during a task, outputing the set to the resource_actions key in the task results. Use the `aws_resource_action` callback to output to total list made during a playbook. The `ANSIBLE_DEBUG_BOTOCORE_LOGS` environment variable may also be used. Choices: `false` ← (default) `true`
dup_ok boolean	By default the module will not upload a certificate that is already uploaded into AWS. If dup_ok=True, it will upload the certificate as long as the name is unique. The default value for this value changed in release 5.0.0 to `true`. Choices: `false` `true` ← (default)
endpoint_url aliases: aws_endpoint_url string	URL to connect to instead of the default AWS endpoints. While this can be used to connection to other AWS-compatible services the amazon.aws and community.aws collections are only tested against AWS. The `AWS_URL` environment variable may also be used.
key string	The content of the private key in PEM encoded format.
name string / required	Name of certificate to add, update or remove.
new_name string	When state=present, this will update the name of the cert. The cert, key and cert_chain parameters will be ignored if this is defined.
new_path string	When state=present, this will update the path of the cert. The cert, key and cert_chain parameters will be ignored if this is defined.
path string	When creating or updating, specify the desired path of the certificate. Default: `"/"`
profile aliases: aws_profile string	A named AWS profile to use for authentication. See the AWS documentation for more information about named profiles https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-configure-profiles.html. The `AWS_PROFILE` environment variable may also be used. The profile option is mutually exclusive with the aws_access_key, aws_secret_key and session_token options.
region aliases: aws_region string	The AWS region to use. For global services such as IAM, Route53 and CloudFront, region is ignored. The `AWS_REGION` environment variable may also be used. See the Amazon AWS documentation for more information http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#ec2_region.
secret_key aliases: aws_secret_access_key, aws_secret_key string	AWS secret access key. See the AWS documentation for more information about access tokens https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-sec-cred-types.html#access-keys-and-secret-access-keys. The `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` or `AWS_SECRET_KEY` environment variables may also be used in decreasing order of preference. The secret_key and profile options are mutually exclusive. The aws_secret_access_key alias was added in release 5.1.0 for consistency with the AWS botocore SDK.
session_token aliases: aws_session_token string	AWS STS session token for use with temporary credentials. See the AWS documentation for more information about access tokens https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-sec-cred-types.html#access-keys-and-secret-access-keys. The `AWS_SESSION_TOKEN` environment variable may also be used. The session_token and profile options are mutually exclusive.
state string / required	Whether to create (or update) or delete the certificate. If new_path or new_name is defined, specifying present will attempt to make an update these. Choices: `"present"` `"absent"`
validate_certs boolean	When set to `false`, SSL certificates will not be validated for communication with the AWS APIs. Setting validate_certs=false is strongly discouraged, as an alternative, consider setting aws_ca_bundle instead. Choices: `false` `true` ← (default)

Notes

Note

Caution: For modules, environment variables and configuration files are read from the Ansible ‘host’ context and not the ‘controller’ context. As such, files may need to be explicitly copied to the ‘host’. For lookup and connection plugins, environment variables and configuration files are read from the Ansible ‘controller’ context and not the ‘host’ context.
The AWS SDK (boto3) that Ansible uses may also read defaults for credentials and other settings, such as the region, from its configuration files in the Ansible ‘host’ context (typically ~/.aws/credentials). See https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/guide/credentials.html for more information.
