Introduction
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
The vcenter_rest modules need to be authenticated. There are two different
|
|
|
|
Environment variables
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
This solution requires that you call the modules from the local machine.
|
|
|
|
You need to export some environment variables in your shell before you call the modules.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: shell
|
|
|
|
$ export VMWARE_HOST=vcenter.test
|
|
$ export VMWARE_USER=myvcenter-user
|
|
$ export VMWARE_password=mypassword
|
|
$ ansible-playbook my-playbook.yaml
|
|
|
|
Module parameters
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
All the vcenter_rest modules accept the following arguments:
|
|
|
|
- ``vcenter_host``
|
|
- ``vcenter_username``
|
|
- ``vcenter_password``
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ignore SSL certificate error
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
It's common to run a test environment without a proper SSL certificate configuration.
|
|
|
|
To ignore the SSL error, you can use the ``vcenter_validate_certs: no`` argument or
|
|
``export VMWARE_VALIDATE_CERTS=no`` to set the environment variable.
