Variables

Variable Name Default Value Required Description Example
ansible_config_mode ‘0644’ no str The permissions the resulting ansible config file or directory should have.
ansible_config_owner ”” no str The owner the resulting ansible config file or directory should have.
ansible_config_group ”” no str The group the resulting ansible config file or directory should have.
aap_configuration_working_dir “/var/tmp” no path Location to render the ansible config file to.
automation_hub_list [] no list A list of Automation hubs and galaxies to put in the ansible config, see below for details.
ansible_config_list [{"header":"galaxy","keypairs":[{"key":"ignore_certs","value":""}]}] no list A set of ansible config settings, a default is set, but can be overridden, see below for details.
ah_token ”” no Tower Admin User’s token on the Automation Hub Server. This should be stored in an Ansible Vault at or elsewhere and called from a parent playbook.  
ah_path_prefix galaxy no Tower Admin User’s token on the Automation Hub Server. This should be stored in an Ansible Vault at or elsewhere and called from a parent playbook.  

Secure Logging Variables

The following Variables compliment each other. If Both variables are not set, secure logging defaults to false. The role defaults to False as normally the ansible config task does not by default include sensitive information, we highly recommend the use of ansible vault for passwords and tokens. aap_configuration_ansible_config_secure_logging defaults to the value of aap_configuration_secure_logging if it is not explicitly called. This allows for secure logging to be toggled for the entire suite of automation hub configuration roles with a single variable, or for the user to selectively use it.

Variable Name Default Value Required Description
aap_configuration_ansible_config_secure_logging False no Whether or not to include the sensitive ansible config role tasks in the log. Set this value to True if you will be providing your sensitive values from elsewhere.
aap_configuration_secure_logging False no This variable enables secure logging as well, but is shared across multiple roles, see above.
