Parameters
Parameter | Comments |
|---|---|
ad_user string | Active Directory username. Use when authenticating with an Active Directory user rather than service principal. |
adfs_authority_url string added in azure.azcollection 0.0.1 | Azure AD authority url. Use when authenticating with Username/password, and has your own ADFS authority. |
api_profile string added in azure.azcollection 0.0.1 | Selects an API profile to use when communicating with Azure services. Default value of Default: |
auth_source string added in azure.azcollection 0.0.1 | Controls the source of the credentials to use for authentication. Can also be set via the When set to When set to When set to When set to When set to The Choices:
|
cert_validation_mode string added in azure.azcollection 0.0.1 | Controls the certificate validation behavior for Azure endpoints. By default, all modules will validate the server certificate, but when an HTTPS proxy is in use, or against Azure Stack, it may be necessary to disable this behavior by passing Choices:
|
client_id string | Azure client ID. Use when authenticating with a Service Principal or Managed Identity (msi). Can also be set via the |
cloud_environment string added in azure.azcollection 0.0.1 | For cloud environments other than the US public cloud, the environment name (as defined by Azure Python SDK, eg, Default: |
disable_instance_discovery boolean added in azure.azcollection 2.3.0 | Determines whether or not instance discovery is performed when attempting to authenticate. Setting this to true will completely disable both instance discovery and authority validation. This functionality is intended for use in scenarios where the metadata endpoint cannot be reached such as in private clouds or Azure Stack. The process of instance discovery entails retrieving authority metadata from https://login.microsoft.com/ to validate the authority. By setting this to **True**, the validation of the authority is disabled. As a result, it is crucial to ensure that the configured authority host is valid and trustworthy. Set via credential file profile or the Choices:
|
log_mode string | Parent argument. |
log_path string | Parent argument. |
name string | Certificate name. If not set, will list all certificates in vault_uri. |
password string | Active Directory user password. Use when authenticating with an Active Directory user rather than service principal. |
profile string | Security profile found in ~/.azure/credentials file. |
secret string | Azure client secret. Use when authenticating with a Service Principal. |
show_deleted_certificate boolean | Set to show_delete_certificate=true to show deleted certificates. Set to show_deleted_certificate=false to show not deleted certificates. Choices:
|
subscription_id string | Your Azure subscription Id. |
tags list / elements=string | Limit results by providing a list of tags. Format tags as ‘key’ or ‘key:value’. |
tenant string | Azure tenant ID. Use when authenticating with a Service Principal. |
thumbprint string added in azure.azcollection 1.14.0 | The thumbprint of the private key specified in x509_certificate_path. Use when authenticating with a Service Principal. Required if x509_certificate_path is defined. |
vault_uri string / required | Vault uri where the certificate stored in. |
version string | The version of the certificate. |
x509_certificate_path path added in azure.azcollection 1.14.0 | Path to the X509 certificate used to create the service principal in PEM format. The certificate must be appended to the private key. Use when authenticating with a Service Principal. |
Notes
Note
- For authentication with Azure you can pass parameters, set environment variables, use a profile stored in ~/.azure/credentials, or log in before you run your tasks or playbook with
az login. - Authentication is also possible using a service principal or Active Directory user.
- To authenticate via service principal, pass subscription_id, client_id, secret and tenant or set environment variables AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_ID, AZURE_SECRET and AZURE_TENANT.
- To authenticate via Active Directory user, pass ad_user and password, or set AZURE_AD_USER and AZURE_PASSWORD in the environment.
- Alternatively, credentials can be stored in ~/.azure/credentials. This is an ini file containing a [default] section and the following keys: subscription_id, client_id, secret and tenant or subscription_id, ad_user and password. It is also possible to add additional profiles. Specify the profile by passing profile or setting AZURE_PROFILE in the environment.
