2.4. Using Ansible to retrieve SSL certificates for IdM users, hosts, and services


You can use the ansible-freeipa freeipa.ansible_freeipa.ipacert module to retrieve an SSL certificate issued for an Identity Management (IdM) user, host or a service, and store it in a file on the managed node.

Prerequisites

  • On the control node:

    • You are using Ansible version 2.15 or later.
    • You have installed the ansible-freeipa package.
    • The example assumes that in the ~/MyPlaybooks/ directory, you have created an Ansible inventory file with the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) of the IdM server.
    • The example assumes that the secret.yml Ansible vault stores your ipaadmin_password and that you have access to a file that stores the password protecting the secret.yml file.
  • The target node, that is the node on which the freeipa.ansible_freeipa module is executed, is part of the IdM domain as an IdM client, server or replica.
  • You have obtained the serial number of the certificate, for example by entering the openssl x509 -noout -text -in <path_to_certificate> command. In this example, the serial number of the certificate is 123456789, and the file in which you store the retrieved certificate is cert.pem.

Procedure

  1. Create your Ansible playbook file retrieve-certificate.yml with the following content:

    ---
    - name: Playbook to retrieve a certificate and store it locally on the managed node
      hosts: ipaserver
    
      vars_files:
      - /home/user_name/MyPlaybooks/secret.yml
    
      tasks:
      - name: Retrieve a certificate and save it to file 'cert.pem'
        freeipa.ansible_freeipa.ipacert:
          ipaadmin_password: "{{ ipaadmin_password }}"
          serial_number: 123456789
          certificate_out: cert.pem
          state: retrieved
  2. Retrieve the certificate:

    $ ansible-playbook --vault-password-file=password_file -v -i <path_to_inventory_directory>/hosts <path_to_playbooks_directory>/retrieve-certificate.yml
