This module allows one to (re)generate OpenSSL private keys.
One can generate RSA, DSA, ECC or EdDSA private keys.
Keys are generated in PEM format.
Please note that the module regenerates private keys if they don’t match the module’s options. In particular, if you provide another passphrase (or specify none), change the keysize, etc., the private key will be regenerated. If you are concerned that this could overwrite your private key, consider using the backup option.
The module can use the cryptography Python library, or the pyOpenSSL Python library. By default, it tries to detect which one is available. This can be overridden with the select_crypto_backend option. Please note that the PyOpenSSL backend was deprecated in Ansible 2.9 and will be removed in Ansible 2.13.”

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

Jul 09, 2019 Normally, the CSR/RSA Private Key pairs on Linux-based operating systems are generated using the OpenSSL cryptographic engine, and saved as files with “.key” or “.pem” extensions on the server. But no specific extensions are mandatory for text files in Linux, so the key file may have any name and extension, or no extension at all.

Either cryptography >= 1.2.3 (older versions might work as well)
Or pyOpenSSL

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
attributes string	The attributes the resulting file or directory should have. To get supported flags look at the man page for chattr on the target system. This string should contain the attributes in the same order as the one displayed by lsattr. The `=` operator is assumed as default, otherwise `+` or `-` operators need to be included in the string.
backup added in 2.8	Choices: yes	Create a backup file including a timestamp so you can get the original private key back if you overwrote it with a new one by accident.
cipher string	The cipher to encrypt the private key. (Valid values can be found by running `openssl list -cipher-algorithms` or `openssl list-cipher-algorithms`, depending on your OpenSSL version.)
curve added in 2.8	Choices: secp384r1 secp521r1 secp224r1 secp192r1 secp256r1 secp256k1 brainpoolP256r1 brainpoolP384r1 brainpoolP512r1 sect571k1 sect409k1 sect283k1 sect233k1 sect163k1 sect571r1 sect409r1 sect283r1 sect233r1 sect163r2	Note that not all curves are supported by all versions of `cryptography`. For maximal interoperability, `secp384r1` or `secp256r1` should be used. We use the curve names as defined in the IANA registry for TLS.
force boolean	Choices: yes	Should the key be regenerated even if it already exists.
group string	Name of the group that should own the file/directory, as would be fed to chown.
mode string	The permissions the resulting file or directory should have. For those used to /usr/bin/chmod remember that modes are actually octal numbers. You must either add a leading zero so that Ansible's YAML parser knows it is an octal number (like `0644` or `01777`) or quote it (like `'644'` or `'1777'`) so Ansible receives a string and can do its own conversion from string into number. Giving Ansible a number without following one of these rules will end up with a decimal number which will have unexpected results. As of Ansible 1.8, the mode may be specified as a symbolic mode (for example, `u+rwx` or `u=rw,g=r,o=r`). As of Ansible 2.6, the mode may also be the special string `preserve`. When set to `preserve` the file will be given the same permissions as the source file.
owner string	Name of the user that should own the file/directory, as would be fed to chown.
passphrase string	The passphrase for the private key.
path path / required	Name of the file in which the generated TLS/SSL private key will be written. It will have 0600 mode.
select_crypto_backend string	Choices: auto ← cryptography pyopenssl	The default choice is `auto`, which tries to use `cryptography` if available, and falls back to `pyopenssl`. If set to `pyopenssl`, will try to use the pyOpenSSL library. If set to `cryptography`, will try to use the cryptography library. Please note that the `pyopenssl` backend has been deprecated in Ansible 2.9, and will be removed in Ansible 2.13. From that point on, only the `cryptography` backend will be available.
selevel string	Default:	The level part of the SELinux file context. This is the MLS/MCS attribute, sometimes known as the `range`. When set to `_default`, it will use the `level` portion of the policy if available.
serole string	When set to `_default`, it will use the `role` portion of the policy if available.
setype string	When set to `_default`, it will use the `type` portion of the policy if available.
seuser string	By default it uses the `system` policy, where applicable. When set to `_default`, it will use the `user` portion of the policy if available.
size integer	Default:	Size (in bits) of the TLS/SSL key to generate.
state string	Choices: absent	Whether the private key should exist or not, taking action if the state is different from what is stated.
type string	Choices: DSA ECC Ed25519 Ed448 X25519 X448	The algorithm used to generate the TLS/SSL private key. Note that `ECC`, `X25519`, `X448`, `Ed25519` and `Ed448` require the `cryptography` backend. `X25519` needs cryptography 2.5 or newer, while `X448`, `Ed25519` and `Ed448` require cryptography 2.6 or newer. For `ECC`, the minimal cryptography version required depends on the curve option.
unsafe_writes boolean	Choices: yes	Influence when to use atomic operation to prevent data corruption or inconsistent reads from the target file. By default this module uses atomic operations to prevent data corruption or inconsistent reads from the target files, but sometimes systems are configured or just broken in ways that prevent this. One example is docker mounted files, which cannot be updated atomically from inside the container and can only be written in an unsafe manner. This option allows Ansible to fall back to unsafe methods of updating files when atomic operations fail (however, it doesn't force Ansible to perform unsafe writes). IMPORTANT! Unsafe writes are subject to race conditions and can lead to data corruption.

Key	Returned	Description

Hint

If you notice any issues in this documentation, you can edit this document to improve it.

The following instructions will guide you through the CSR generation process on Nginx (OpenSSL). To learn more about CSRs and the importance of your private key, reference our Overview of Certificate Signing Request article. If you already generated the CSR and received your trusted SSL certificate, reference our SSL Installation Instructions and disregard the steps below.

1. Log in to your server’s terminal.

You will want to log in via Secure Shell (SSH). Rocket league key generator xbox one game.

2. Enter CSR and Private Key command

Generate a private key and CSR by running the following command:

Here is the plain text version to copy and paste into your terminal:

Note:Replace “server ” with the domain name you intend to secure.

3. Enter your CSR details

Enter the following CSR details when prompted:

Common Name: The FQDN (fully-qualified domain name) you want to secure with the certificate such as www.google.com, secure.website.org, *.domain.net, etc.
Organization: The full legal name of your organization including the corporate identifier.
Organization Unit (OU): Your department such as ‘Information Technology’ or ‘Website Security.’
City or Locality: The locality or city where your organization is legally incorporated. Do not abbreviate.
State or Province: The state or province where your organization is legally incorporated. Do not abbreviate.
Country: The official two-letter country code (i.e. US, CH) where your organization is legally incorporated.

Note: You are not required to enter a password or passphrase. This optional field is for applying additional security to your key pair.

4. Generate the order

Locate and open the newly created CSR in a text editor such as Notepad and copy all the text including:

Note 1: Your CSR should be saved in the same user directory that you SSH into unless otherwise specified by you.

Note 2: We recommend saving or backing up your newly generate “.key ” file as this will be required later during the installation process.

Return to the Generation Form on our website and paste the entire CSR into the blank text box and continue with completing the generation process.

Upon generating your CSR, your order will enter the validation process with the issuing Certificate Authority (CA) and require the certificate requester to complete some form of validation depending on the certificate purchased. For information regarding the different levels of the validation process and how to satisfy the industry requirements, reference our validation articles.
