Install this Ansible module:

* via ``pip``:

::

pip install ansible-modules-hashivault

* via ``ansible-galaxy`` (requires ``hvac>=0.7.0``):

::

ansible-galaxy install 'git+https://github.com/TerryHowe/ansible-modules-hashivault.git'

..

Note: The ``hashicorp`` lookup plugin does not work with this last install method (`ansible/ansible#28770 <https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/28770>`_).
You can fallback to the build-in lookup plugin: `hashi_vault <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/plugins/lookup/hashi_vault.html>`_

In most cases the Hashicorp Vault modules should be run on localhost.

Environmental Variables
-------------------

The following variables need to be exported to the environment where you run ansible
in order to authenticate to your HashiCorp Vault instance:

* `VAULT_ADDR`: url for vault
* `VAULT_SKIP_VERIFY=true`: if set, do not verify presented TLS certificate before communicating with Vault server. Setting this variable is not recommended except during testing
* `VAULT_AUTHTYPE`: authentication type to use: `token`, `userpass`, `github`, `ldap`, `approle`
* `VAULT_TOKEN`: token for vault
* `VAULT_ROLE_ID`: (required by `approle`)
* `VAULT_SECRET_ID`: (required by `approle`)
* `VAULT_USER`: username to login to vault
* `VAULT_PASSWORD`: password to login to vault
* `VAULT_CLIENT_KEY`: path to an unencrypted PEM-encoded private key matching the client certificate
* `VAULT_CLIENT_CERT`: path to a PEM-encoded client certificate for TLS authentication to the Vault server
* `VAULT_CACERT`: path to a PEM-encoded CA cert file to use to verify the Vault server TLS certificate
* `VAULT_CAPATH`: path to a directory of PEM-encoded CA cert files to verify the Vault server TLS certificate
* `VAULT_NAMESPACE`: specify the Vault Namespace, if you have one

Reading and Writing
-------------------

The following example writes the giant secret with two values and then
reads the fie value::

---
- hosts: localhost
vars:
foo_value: 'fum'
fie_value: 'fum'
tasks:
- hashivault_status:
register: 'vault_status'
- hashivault_write:
secret: 'giant'
data:
foo: '{{foo_value}}'
fie: '{{fie_value}}'
register: 'vault_write'
- hashivault_read:
secret: 'giant'
key: 'fie'
register: 'vault_read'

The lookup plugin::

looky: "{{lookup('hashivault', 'giant', 'foo')}}"

By default, the hashivault_write, hashivault_read and the lookup plugin assume the /secret mount point. If you are accessing another mount point, start the secret with a '/'::

---
- hosts: localhost
tasks:
- hashivault_write:
secret: '/stories/stuart'
data:
last: 'little'
- hashivault_read:
secret: '/stories/charlotte'
key: 'web'
- set_fact:
book: "{{lookup('hashivault', '/stories/charlotte', 'web')}}"

Get a list of secrets::

---
- hosts: localhost
tasks:
- hashivault_list:
secret: '/stories'
register: vault

Ansible does not handle binary data well, so these modules are provided for convenience to read/write files::

---
- hashivault_read_to_file:
secret: 'ssl_certs'
key: 'der_format'
dest: 'ssl_cert.cer'
- hashivault_write_from_file:
secret: 'ssl_certs'
key: 'der_format'
path: 'ssl_cert.cer'

Initialization, Seal, and Unseal
--------------------------------

You may init the vault::

---
- hosts: localhost
tasks:
- hashivault_init:
register: 'vault_init'

You may also seal and unseal the vault::

---
- hosts: localhost
vars:
vault_keys: "{{ lookup('env','VAULT_KEYS') }}"
tasks:
- hashivault_status:
register: 'vault_status'
- block:
- hashivault_seal:
register: 'vault_seal'
when: "{{vault_status.status.sealed}} == False"
- hashivault_unseal:
keys: '{{vault_keys}}'

Policy
------

Policy support::

---
- hosts: localhost
vars:
name: 'terry'
rules: >
path "secret/{{name}}/*" {
capabilities = ["create", "read", "update", "delete", "list"]
}
path "secret/{{name}}" {
capabilities = ["list"]
}
tasks:
- hashivault_policy_set:
name: "{{name}}"
rules: "{{rules}}"
register: 'vault_policy_set'
- hashivault_policy_get:
name: '{{name}}'
register: 'vault_policy_get'
- hashivault_policy_list:
register: 'vault_policy_list'

Policy From A file
------------------

Policy from a file support::

---
- hosts: localhost
vars:
name: 'drew'

tasks:
- hashivault_policy_set_from_file:
name: "{{name}}"
rules_file: /home/drew/my_policy.hcl
register: 'vault_policy_set'
- hashivault_policy_get:
name: '{{name}}'
register: 'vault_policy_get'
- hashivault_policy_list:
register: 'vault_policy_list'

User Management
---------------

Add and delete users for userpass::

userpass: 'Th3m@n!!'
tasks:
- hashivault_userpass_create:

pass: "{{userpass}}"
policies: "{{username}}"
register: 'vault_userpass_create'

- hashivault_userpass_delete:
name: "{{username}}"
register: 'vault_userpass_delete'

name: testrole
register: 'vault_role_id'
- hashivault_approle_role_secret_create:
name: testrole
register: 'vault_role_secret_create'

Action Plugin
-------------

If you are not using the VAULT_ADDR and VAULT_TOKEN environment variables,
you may be able to simplify your playbooks with an action plugin. This can
be some somewhat similar to this `example action plugin <https://terryhowe.wordpress.com/2016/05/02/setting-ansible-module-defaults-using-action-plugins/>`_.

Developer Note
--------------
One of the complicated problems with development and testing of this module is
:code:`ansible/module_utils/hashivault.py` is not a directory in itself which
in my opinion is a problem with ansible. Because of this limitation with
ansible, :code:`pip install -e .` does not work like it would for other
projects. Two potential ways to work around this issue are either use the
:code:`link.sh` script in the top level directory or run for every change::

rm -rf dist; python setup.py sdist
pip install ./dist/ansible-modules-hashivault-*.tar.gz
