rootca-with-openssl

This repository includes an Ansible Playbook folder called ansible with two playbooks it it and a Ansible-Role-folder rootca-with-openssl to create a rootCA with Openssl on a linux system. Under the folder ansible, there are two ansible-playbooks. The first one 01-playbook-create-rootca.yaml is to create a rootCA. The seconds one 02-playbook-create-ssl-server-certificate.yaml helps you with your day-2-operation tasks, when you will create custom-ssl-server-certificates.

How to Use

# Create a folder and clone the git-repo
mkdir git && cd git
git clone https://github.com/Patthecat249/rootca-with-openssl.git

# Change to ansible-directory
cd rootca-with-openssl/ansible

# Execute the Playbook
ansible-playbook 01-playbook-create-rootca.yaml

How it works

After you cloned the repository, you can run the playbook as described. It will create a rootCA, with private-Key, all sub-folders/working-folder you need for a rootCA. Then it creates a ssl-server-certificate.

Please have a look in the examples folder. Feel free to edit the vars to your needs.

How to customize

If you want to change the Subject, the private key, or the folder, where everything will be created, feel free to use these ways for editing:

• Manipulate the main.yaml in the folder vars in the Ansible-Role-Folder rootca-with-openssl
