Ansible: Install ssl certificate on admin vserver

Boreus — Tue, 24 Aug 2021 10:15:01 GMT

Hello,

we're trying to deploy and install a CA-signed ssl certificate on the admin vserver to get HTTPS when connecting to the cluster webgui.

With the netapp.ontap.na_ontap_security_certificates module we have successfully deployed the certificate on the cluster, but it will not be used by the vserver.

We somehow need to execute this command.

security ssl modify -vserver [VSERVER] -serial [SERIAL] -ca [CA]

Is this possible without using the na_ontap_ssh_command module?

This might be useful.

Are you trying to find a way to install it without getting into the CLI at all?

Hey,

yes we would like to completely change the ceritificate via ansible.

Understood. You will likely need the na_ontap_ssh_command module as you mentioned, as I'm not aware of any other way to install it.

Others might have a better suggestion though.

would like to see the code if possible.. i am using cli commands in ansible but useful to see how you coded the whole workflow using modules.

Is there still no other way?

I like to renew all certificates with acme.

Therefor I have to get all certs which are used for ssl.

Here is missing an subset in the ontap_rest_info and a seperate module for ssl itself to modify the used certificates.

Will there come something, because na_ontap_ssh_comand does not come back with "security ssl show".

Please do not bother, problem was that automatically the ssh_key_forwarding tried to use keys, when there was a login configured with username and password.
after fixing that I could use the module na_ontap_ssh_comand.

Still, why is there no possibility with a native ansible module, nor an rest call, when it was possible in ontapi (with the powershell module) for example.
