This role sets up a root certificate authority (CA), an intermediate CA, and an arbitrary number SSL/TLS keys and certificates signed by the intermediate CA.

Requirements

Requires a Unix like operating system. (Linux/OSX) The latest Debian/Ubuntu and MacOS are supported.

This role will attempt to install the openssl package or equivalent for your operating system. If your operating system does not have an openssl package (EG Windows) this role won't work.
