Synopsis

Manages server SSL profiles on a BIG-IP system.

Parameters

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
certificate string			Specifies the name of the certificate the system uses for server-side SSL processing.
chain string			Specifies the certificates-key chain to associate with the SSL profile.
ciphers string			Specifies the list of ciphers the system supports. When creating a new profile, the default cipher list is provided by the parent profile.
key string			Specifies the file name of the SSL key.
name string / required			Specifies the name of the profile.
ocsp_profile string			Specifies the name of the OCSP profile for purpose of validating status of server certificate.
parent string		Default: "/Common/serverssl"	The parent template of this monitor template. Once this value has been set, it cannot be changed.
partition string		Default: "Common"	Device partition to manage resources on.
passphrase string			Specifies a passphrase used to encrypt the key.
provider dictionary added in 1.0.0 of f5networks.f5_modules			A dict object containing connection details.
	auth_provider string		Configures the auth provider for to obtain authentication tokens from the remote device. This option is really used when working with BIG-IQ devices.
	no_f5_teem boolean	no yes	If `yes`, TEEM telemetry data is not sent to F5. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable `F5_TEEM`.
	password string / required		The password for the user account used to connect to the BIG-IP. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable `F5_PASSWORD`. aliases: pass, pwd
	server string / required		The BIG-IP host. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable `F5_SERVER`.
	server_port integer	Default: 443	The BIG-IP server port. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable `F5_SERVER_PORT`.
	timeout integer		Specifies the timeout in seconds for communicating with the network device for either connecting or sending commands. If the timeout is exceeded before the operation is completed, the module will error.
	transport string	rest ←	Configures the transport connection to use when connecting to the remote device.
	user string / required		The username to connect to the BIG-IP with. This user must have administrative privileges on the device. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable `F5_USER`.
	validate_certs boolean	no yes ←	If `no`, SSL certificates are not validated. Use this only on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable `F5_VALIDATE_CERTS`.
renegotiation boolean		no yes	Enables or disables SSL renegotiation. When creating a new profile, the setting is provided by the parent profile.
secure_renegotiation string		require require-strict request	Specifies the method of secure renegotiations for SSL connections. When creating a new profile, the setting is provided by the parent profile. When `request` is set, the system requests secure renegotation of SSL connections. `require` is a default setting and when set, the system permits initial SSL handshakes from clients but terminates renegotiations from unpatched clients. With the `require-strict` setting, the system requires strict renegotiation of SSL connections. In this mode the system refuses connections to insecure servers, and terminates existing SSL connections to insecure servers.
server_certificate string		ignore require	Specifies the way the system handles server certificates. When `ignore`, specifies the system ignores certificates from server systems. When `require`, specifies the system requires a server to present a valid certificate.
server_name string			Specifies the fully qualified DNS hostname of the server used in Server Name Indication communications. When creating a new profile, the setting is provided by the parent profile.
sni_default boolean		no yes	Indicates the system uses this profile as the default SSL profile when there is no match to the server name, or when the client provides no SNI extension support. When creating a new profile, the setting is provided by the parent profile. There can be only one SSL profile with this setting enabled.
sni_require boolean		no yes	Requires the network peers also provide SNI support. This setting only takes effect when `sni_default` is `yes`. When creating a new profile, the setting is provided by the parent profile.
state string		present ← absent	When `present`, ensures the profile exists. When `absent`, ensures the profile is removed.
update_password string		always ← on_create	`always` will allow users to update passwords if they choose to do so. `on_create` will only set the password for newly created profiles.

Notes

Note

For more information on using Ansible to manage F5 Networks devices see https://www.ansible.com/integrations/networks/f5.
Requires BIG-IP software version >= 12.
The F5 modules only manipulate the running configuration of the F5 product. To ensure that BIG-IP specific configuration persists to disk, be sure to include at least one task that uses the f5networks.f5_modules.bigip_config module to save the running configuration. Refer to the module’s documentation for the correct usage of the module to save your running configuration.

Examples

- name: Create a new server SSL profile
  bigip_profile_server_ssl:
    name: foo
    provider:
      password: secret
      server: lb.mydomain.com
      user: admin
  delegate_to: localhost

Return Values

Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:
