Role Variables

Available variables are listed below, along with default values. A sample file for the default values is available in default/import_vault_root_ca.yml.sample in case you need it for any group_vars or host_vars configuration.

import_vault_root_ca_certificate_force_download: false # by default, set to false

This variable defines whether the role should always download the provided certificate even if it already exists. This can be useful if you want to replace an existing CA, but note that it breaks idempotence.

import_vault_root_ca_certificate_list: [] # by default, set to an empty dict
  - url: <someurl>
    cert_name: <name_of_ca>

This variable defines which CA certificate to install on the machine, it is only tested with CA from Hashicorp Vault pki engine, but should work with any CA that can be downloaded from a webserver.

Dependencies

ednz_cloud.manage_apt_packages to install consul-template.
