Synopsis

• This module authenticates to oVirt/RHV engine and creates SSO token, which should be later used in all other oVirt/RHV modules, so all modules don’t need to perform login and logout. This module returns an Ansible fact called ovirt_auth. Every module can use this fact as auth parameter, to perform authentication.

Requirements (on host that executes module)

• python >= 2.7
• ovirt-engine-sdk-python >= 4.0.0

Options

Examples

tasks:
  - block:
       # Create a vault with `ovirt_password` variable which store your
       # oVirt/RHV user's password, and include that yaml file with variable:
       - include_vars: ovirt_password.yml

       - name: Obtain SSO token with using username/password credentials
         ovirt_auth:
           url: https://ovirt.example.com/ovirt-engine/api
           username: admin@internal
           ca_file: ca.pem
           password: "{{ ovirt_password }}"

       # Previous task generated I(ovirt_auth) fact, which you can later use
       # in different modules as follows:
       - ovirt_vms:
           auth: "{{ ovirt_auth }}"
           state: absent
           name: myvm

    always:
      - name: Always revoke the SSO token
        ovirt_auth:
          state: absent
          ovirt_auth: "{{ ovirt_auth }}"
