Synopsis

  • This module allows the user to create a GeneratedKey resource in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

  • For state=present, generates a key that you can use to encrypt or decrypt data.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
api_user
string
The OCID of the user, on whose behalf, OCI APIs are invoked. If not set, then the value of the OCI_USER_ID environment variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the user is not specified through a configuration file (See config_file_location). To get the user's OCID, please refer https://docs.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com/Content/API/Concepts/apisigningkey.htm.
api_user_fingerprint
string
Fingerprint for the key pair being used. If not set, then the value of the OCI_USER_FINGERPRINT environment variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the key fingerprint is not specified through a configuration file (See config_file_location). To get the key pair's fingerprint value please refer https://docs.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com/Content/API/Concepts/apisigningkey.htm.
api_user_key_file
string
Full path and filename of the private key (in PEM format). If not set, then the value of the OCI_USER_KEY_FILE variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the private key is not specified through a configuration file (See config_file_location). If the key is encrypted with a pass-phrase, the api_user_key_pass_phrase option must also be provided.
api_user_key_pass_phrase
string
Passphrase used by the key referenced in api_user_key_file, if it is encrypted. If not set, then the value of the OCI_USER_KEY_PASS_PHRASE variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the key passphrase is not specified through a configuration file (See config_file_location).
associated_data
dictionary
Information that can be used to provide an encryption context for the encrypted data. The length of the string representation of the associated data must be fewer than 4096 characters.
auth_purpose
string
    Choices:
  • service_principal
The auth purpose which can be used in conjunction with 'auth_type=instance_principal'. The default auth_purpose for instance_principal is None.
auth_type
string
    Choices:
  • api_key ←
  • instance_principal
  • instance_obo_user
  • resource_principal
The type of authentication to use for making API requests. By default auth_type="api_key" based authentication is performed and the API key (see api_user_key_file) in your config file will be used. If this 'auth_type' module option is not specified, the value of the OCI_ANSIBLE_AUTH_TYPE, if any, is used. Use auth_type="instance_principal" to use instance principal based authentication when running ansible playbooks within an OCI compute instance.
cert_bundle
string
The full path to a CA certificate bundle to be used for SSL verification. This will override the default CA certificate bundle. If not set, then the value of the OCI_ANSIBLE_CERT_BUNDLE variable, if any, is used.
config_file_location
string
Path to configuration file. If not set then the value of the OCI_CONFIG_FILE environment variable, if any, is used. Otherwise, defaults to ~/.oci/config.
config_profile_name
string
The profile to load from the config file referenced by config_file_location. If not set, then the value of the OCI_CONFIG_PROFILE environment variable, if any, is used. Otherwise, defaults to the "DEFAULT" profile in config_file_location.
force_create
boolean
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
Whether to attempt non-idempotent creation of a resource. By default, create resource is an idempotent operation, and doesn't create the resource if it already exists. Setting this option to true, forcefully creates a copy of the resource, even if it already exists.This option is mutually exclusive with key_by.
include_plaintext_key
boolean / required
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
If true, the generated key is also returned unencrypted.
key_by
list / elements=string
The list of attributes of this resource which should be used to uniquely identify an instance of the resource. By default, all the attributes of a resource are used to uniquely identify a resource.
key_id
string / required
The OCID of the master encryption key to encrypt the generated data encryption key with.
key_shape
dictionary / required
algorithm
string / required
    Choices:
  • AES
  • RSA
  • ECDSA
The algorithm used by a key's key versions to encrypt or decrypt.
curve_id
string
    Choices:
  • NIST_P256
  • NIST_P384
  • NIST_P521
Supported curve IDs for ECDSA keys.
length
integer / required
The length of the key in bytes, expressed as an integer. Supported values include the following: - AES: 16, 24, or 32 - RSA: 256, 384, or 512 - ECDSA: 32, 48, or 66
logging_context
dictionary
Information that provides context for audit logging. You can provide this additional data by formatting it as key-value pairs to include in audit logs when audit logging is enabled.
region
string
The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure region to use for all OCI API requests. If not set, then the value of the OCI_REGION variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the region is not specified through a configuration file (See config_file_location). Please refer to https://docs.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com/Content/General/Concepts/regions.htm for more information on OCI regions.
service_endpoint
string / required
The endpoint of the service to call using this client. For example 'https://kms.{region}.{secondLevelDomain}'.
state
string
    Choices:
  • present ←
The state of the GeneratedKey.
Use state=present to create a GeneratedKey.
tenancy
string
OCID of your tenancy. If not set, then the value of the OCI_TENANCY variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the tenancy OCID is not specified through a configuration file (See config_file_location). To get the tenancy OCID, please refer https://docs.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com/Content/API/Concepts/apisigningkey.htm

ciphertext
string
on success
The encrypted data encryption key generated from a master encryption key.

Sample:

plaintext_checksum
string
on success
The checksum of the plaintext data encryption key, which is included if the GenerateDataEncryptionKey request includes the `includePlaintextKey` parameter and sets its value to "true".
