community.windows.win_iis_webapppool – Configure IIS Web Application Pools

Note

This plugin is part of the community.windows collection (version 1.7.0).

You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install community.windows.

To use it in a playbook, specify: community.windows.win_iis_webapppool.

Synopsis

Creates, removes and configures an IIS Web Application Pool.

Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
attributes string		This field is a free form dictionary value for the application pool attributes. These attributes are based on the naming standard at https://www.iis.net/configreference/system.applicationhost/applicationpools/add#005, see the examples section for more details on how to set this. You can also set the attributes of child elements like cpu and processModel, see the examples to see how it is done. While you can use the numeric values for enums it is recommended to use the enum name itself, e.g. use SpecificUser instead of 3 for processModel.identityType. managedPipelineMode may be either "Integrated" or "Classic". startMode may be either "OnDemand" or "AlwaysRunning". Use `state` module parameter to modify the state of the app pool. When trying to set 'processModel.password' and you receive a 'Value does fall within the expected range' error, you have a corrupted keystore. Please follow http://structuredsight.com/2014/10/26/im-out-of-range-youre-out-of-range/ to help fix your host.
name string / required		Name of the application pool.
state string	Choices: absent present ← restarted started stopped	The state of the application pool. If `absent` will ensure the app pool is removed. If `present` will ensure the app pool is configured and exists. If `restarted` will ensure the app pool exists and will restart, this is never idempotent. If `started` will ensure the app pool exists and is started. If `stopped` will ensure the app pool exists and is stopped.

    state: stopped

- name: Restart an application pool (non-idempotent)
  community.windows.win_iis_webapppool:
    name: AppPool
    state: restarted

    name: AnotherAppPool
    state: started

      autoStart: no

# In the below example we are setting attributes in child element processModel
# https://www.iis.net/configreference/system.applicationhost/applicationpools/add/processmodel
- name: Manage child element and set identity of application pool
  community.windows.win_iis_webapppool:
    name: IdentitiyAppPool
    state: started
    attributes:
      managedPipelineMode: Classic
      processModel.identityType: SpecificUser
      processModel.userName: '{{ansible_user}}'
      processModel.password: '{{ansible_password}}'
      processModel.loadUserProfile: true

- name: Manage a timespan attribute
  community.windows.win_iis_webapppool:
    name: TimespanAppPool
    state: started
    attributes:
      # Timespan with full string "day:hour:minute:second.millisecond"
      recycling.periodicRestart.time: "00:00:05:00.000000"
      recycling.periodicRestart.schedule: ["00:10:00", "05:30:00"]
      # Shortened timespan "hour:minute:second"
      processModel.pingResponseTime: "00:03:00"
