bigip_profile_server_ssl – Manages server SSL profiles on a BIG-IP

New in version 1.0.0.

Synopsis

  • Manages server SSL profiles on a BIG-IP system.

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Configuration Comments
authenticate_name
string
Specifies a Common Name (CN) that is embedded in a server certificate. The system authenticates a server based on the specified CN.
ca_file
string
Specifies a server CA the system trusts. The default is (None).
certificate
string
Specifies the name of the certificate the system uses for server-side SSL processing.
chain
string
Specifies the certificates-key chain to associate with the SSL profile.
cipher_group
string
added in 1.12.0
Specifies the cipher group to assign to this profile.
When the ciphers parameter is in use, the cipher_group must be set to either none or ''.
When creating a new profile with cipher_group, if the parent profile has ciphers set by default, the cipher parameter must be set to none or '' during creation.
The parameter only works on TMOS version 13.x and later.
ciphers
string
Specifies the list of ciphers the system supports. When creating a new profile, the default cipher list is provided by the parent profile.
When the cipher_group parameter is in use, the ciphers parameter needs to be set to either none or ''.
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 the status of server certificate.
options
list / elements=string
    Choices:
  • dont-insert-empty-fragments
  • no-ssl
  • no-dtls
  • no-session-resumption-on-renegotiation
  • no-tlsv1.1
  • no-tlsv1.2
  • no-tlsv1.3
  • single-dh-use
  • tls-rollback-bug
  • no-sslv3
  • no-tls
  • no-tlsv1
  • none
Options the system uses for SSL processing in the form of a list. When creating a new profile, the list is provided by the parent profile.
When '' or none, all options for SSL processing are disabled.
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.
provider
dictionary
added in 1.0.0
A dict object containing connection details.
auth_provider
string
Configures the auth provider for to obtain authentication tokens from the remote device.
This option is really used when working with BIG-IQ devices.
no_f5_teem
boolean
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
If yes, TEEM telemetry data is not sent to F5.
You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_TELEMETRY_OFF.
Previously used variable F5_TEEM is deprecated as its name was confusing.
password
string / required
The password for the user account used to connect to the BIG-IP or the BIG-IQ.
You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_PASSWORD.

aliases: pass, pwd
server
string / required
The BIG-IP host or the BIG-IQ 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.
timeout
integer
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:
  • rest ←
Configures the transport connection to use when connecting to the remote device.
user
string / required
The username to connect to the BIG-IP or the BIG-IQ. 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.
renegotiation
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Enables or disables SSL renegotiation.
When creating a new profile, the setting is provided by the parent profile.
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 requests secure renegotiation 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.
With 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_certificate
string
    Choices:
  • ignore
  • require
Specifies the way the system handles server certificates.
When ignore, specifies the system ignores certificates from server systems.
When require, specifies 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.
sni_default
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Indicates 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 the network peers also provide SNI support. This setting only takes effect when sni_default is true.
When creating a new profile, the setting is provided by the parent profile.
state
string
    Choices:
  • present ←
  • absent
When present, ensures the profile exists.
When absent, ensures the profile is removed.
update_password
string
    Choices:
  • always ←
  • on_create
always allows users to update passwords if they choose to do so. on_create only sets the password for newly created profiles.

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 f5networks.f5_modules.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.
