openssl_csr_info – Provide information of OpenSSL Certificate Signing Requests (CSR)
openssl_csr_info – Provide information of OpenSSL Certificate Signing Requests (CSR)
New in version 2.8.
Synopsis
- This module allows one to query information on OpenSSL Certificate Signing Requests (CSR).
- In case the CSR signature cannot be validated, the module will fail. In this case, all return variables are still returned.
- It uses the pyOpenSSL or cryptography python library to interact with OpenSSL. If both the cryptography and PyOpenSSL libraries are available (and meet the minimum version requirements) cryptography will be preferred as a backend over PyOpenSSL (unless the backend is forced with
select_crypto_backend
). Please note that the PyOpenSSL backend was deprecated in Ansible 2.9 and will be removed in Ansible 2.13.
Requirements
The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.
- PyOpenSSL >= 0.15 or cryptography >= 1.3
Parameters
