Use copy: content instead of temp files? about ansible-ssl-example HOT 5 CLOSED

Probably! I'll check it out. I did a bunch of these all in one go and probably just missed that ability.

Thanks!

I used vaulted vars and a copy task to write the key file in use of content: {{ssl_key}}. This approach looks realy clear in the configuration but I see there is a critical security issue.

If I look into my /var/log/syslog file I see this lines:

Nov 25 21:12:20 hostname ansible-file: Invoked with directory_mode=None force=False remote_src=None path=/etc/ssl/private/mykey.key owner=root group
=ssl-cert serole=None content=-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----XXXKEYCONTENXXXX-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

So ansible logs the property contents on the destination machine. I try to use ssl-encrypted files and save the vault encrypted passphrase in my vars.

Oh, ansible 1.8 adds a no_log param: ansible/ansible#2198

I'll check it out, thanks!
