bigip_profile_server_ssl – Manages server SSL profiles on a BIG-IP

New in version 2.8.

Synopsis

Manages server SSL profiles on a BIG-IP.

Parameters

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
certificate string			Specifies the name of the certificate that 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 that 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.
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
provider dictionary added in 2.5			A dict object containing connection details.
	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`.
	ssh_keyfile path		Specifies the SSH keyfile to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This argument is only used for cli transports. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable `ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE`.
	timeout integer	Default: 10	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	Choices: cli 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	Choices: 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`.
secure_renegotiation string		Choices: 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 request 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. 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 string / required			The BIG-IP host. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable `F5_SERVER`.
server_certificate string		Choices: ignore require	Specifies the way the system handles server certificates. When `ignore`, specifies that the system ignores certificates from server systems. When `require`, specifies that 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.
server_port integer added in 2.2		Default: 443	The BIG-IP server port. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable `F5_SERVER_PORT`.
sni_default boolean		Choices: no yes	Indicates that 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		Choices: no yes	Requires that the network peers also provide SNI support, setting only takes effect when `sni_default` is `yes`. When creating a new profile, the setting is provided by the parent profile.
state string		Choices: present ← absent	When `present`, ensures that the profile exists. When `absent`, ensures the profile is removed.
update_password string		Choices: always ← on_create	`always` will allow to update passwords if the user chooses to do so. `on_create` will only set the password for newly created profiles.
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 added in 2.0		Choices: 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`.

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 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
