The default is as integers \(serial\_numbers\=integer\) for backwards compatibility\; setting serial\_numbers\=hex\-octets allows to specify colon\-separated hex octet strings like 00\:11\:22\:FF \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/issues/687](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/issues/687)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/715](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/715)\)\. ### Deprecated Features * openssl\_csr\_pipe\, openssl\_privatekey\_pipe\, x509\_certificate\_pipe \- the current behavior of check mode is deprecated and will change in community\.crypto 3\.0\.0\. The current behavior is similar to the modules without \_pipe\: if the object needs to be \(re\-\)generated\, only the changed status is set\, but the object is not updated\. From community\.crypto 3\.0\.0 on\, the modules will ignore check mode and always act as if check mode is not active\. This behavior can already achieved now by adding check\_mode\: false to the task\. If you think this breaks your use\-case of this module\, please [create an issue in the community\.crypto repository](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/issues/new/choose) \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/issues/712](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/issues/712)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/714](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/714)\)\. ### Bugfixes * luks\_device \- fixed module a bug that prevented using remove\_keyslot with the value 0 \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/710](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/710)\)\. * luks\_device \- fixed module falsely outputting changed\=false when trying to add a new slot with a key that is already present in another slot\. The module now rejects adding keys that are already present in another slot \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/710](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/710)\)\. * luks\_device \- fixed testing of LUKS passphrases in when specifying a keyslot for cryptsetup version 2\.0\.3\. The output of this cryptsetup version slightly differs from later versions \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/710](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/710)\)\. ### New Plugins #### Filter * parse\_serial \- Convert a serial number as a colon\-separated list of hex numbers to an integer * to\_serial \- Convert an integer to a colon\-separated list of hex numbers ## v2\.17\.1 ### Release Summary Bugfix release for compatibility with cryptography 42\.0\.0\. ### Bugfixes * openssl\_dhparam \- was using an internal function instead of the public API to load DH param files when using the cryptography backend\. The internal function was removed in cryptography 42\.0\.0\. The module now uses the public API\, which has been available since support for DH params was added to cryptography \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/698](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/698)\)\. * openssl\_privatekey\_info \- check\_consistency\=true no longer works for RSA keys with cryptography 42\.0\.0\+ \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/701](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/701)\)\. * openssl\_privatekey\_info \- check\_consistency\=true now reports a warning if it cannot determine consistency \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/705](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/705)\)\. ## v2\.17\.0 ### Release Summary Feature release\. ### Minor Changes * luks\_device \- add allow discards option \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/693](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/693)\)\. ## v2\.16\.2 ### Release Summary Bugfix release\. ### Bugfixes * acme\_\* modules \- directly react on bad return data for account creation/retrieval/updating requests \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/682](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/682)\)\. * acme\_\* modules \- fix improved error reporting in case of socket errors\, bad status lines\, and unknown connection errors \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/684](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/684)\)\. * acme\_\* modules \- increase number of retries from 5 to 10 to increase stability with unstable ACME endpoints \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/685](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/685)\)\. * acme\_\* modules \- make account registration handling more flexible to accept 404 instead of 400 send by DigiCert\'s ACME endpoint when an account does not exist \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/681](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/681)\)\. ## v2\.16\.1 ### Release Summary Bugfix release\. ### Bugfixes * acme\_\* modules \- also retry requests in case of socket errors\, bad status lines\, and unknown connection errors\;

From this version on\, community\.crypto is using the new [Ansible semantic markup](https\://docs\.ansible\.com/ansible/devel/dev\_guide/developing\_modules\_documenting\.html\#semantic\-markup\-within\-module\-documentation) in its documentation\. If you look at documentation with the ansible\-doc CLI tool from ansible\-core before 2\.15\, please note that it does not render the markup correctly\. You should be still able to read it in most cases\, but you need ansible\-core 2\.15 or later to see it as it is intended\. Alternatively you can look at [the devel docsite](https\://docs\.ansible\.com/ansible/devel/collections/community/crypto/) for the rendered HTML version of the documentation of the latest release\. ### Bugfixes * Fix PEM detection/identification to also accept random other lines before the line starting with \-\-\-\-\-BEGIN \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/issues/627](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/issues/627)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/628](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/628)\)\. ### Known Issues * Ansible markup will show up in raw form on ansible\-doc text output for ansible\-core before 2\.15\. If you have trouble deciphering the documentation markup\, please upgrade to ansible\-core 2\.15 \(or newer\)\, or read the HTML documentation on [https\://docs\.ansible\.com/ansible/devel/collections/community/crypto/](https\://docs\.ansible\.com/ansible/devel/collections/community/crypto/)\. ## v2\.14\.0 ### Release Summary Feature release\. ### Minor Changes * acme\_certificate \- allow to use no challenge by providing no challenge for the challenge option\. This is needed for ACME servers where validation is done without challenges \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/issues/613](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/issues/613)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/615](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/615)\)\. * acme\_certificate \- validate and wait for challenges in parallel instead handling them one after another \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/617](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/617)\)\. * x509\_certificate\_info \- added support for certificates in DER format when using path parameter \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/issues/603](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/issues/603)\)\. ## v2\.13\.1 ### Release Summary Bugfix release\. ### Bugfixes * execution environment definition \- fix installation of python3\-pyOpenSSL package on CentOS and RHEL \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/606](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/606)\)\. * execution environment definition \- fix source of python3\-pyOpenSSL package for Rocky Linux 9\+ \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/606](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/606)\)\. ## v2\.13\.0 ### Release Summary Bugfix and maintenance release\. ### Minor Changes * x509\_crl \- the crl\_mode option has been added to replace the existing mode option \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/issues/596](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/issues/596)\)\. ### Deprecated Features * x509\_crl \- the mode option is deprecated\; use crl\_mode instead\. The mode option will change its meaning in community\.crypto 3\.0\.0\, and will refer to the CRL file\'s mode instead \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/issues/596](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/issues/596)\)\. ### Bugfixes * openssh\_keypair \- always generate a new key pair if the private key does not exist\. Previously\, the module would fail when regenerate\=fail without an existing key\, contradicting the documentation \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/598](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/598)\)\. * x509\_crl \- remove problem with ansible\-core 2\.16 due to AnsibleModule is now validating the mode parameter\'s values \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/issues/596](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/issues/596)\)\. ## v2\.12\.0 ### Release Summary Feature release\. ### Minor Changes * get\_certificate \- add asn1\_base64 option to control whether the ASN\.1 included in the extensions return value is binary data or Base64 encoded \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/592](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/592)\)\. ## v2\.11\.1 ### Release Summary Maintenance release with improved documentation\. ## v2\.11\.0 ### Release Summary Feature and bugfix release\. ### Minor Changes * get\_certificate \- adds ciphers option for custom cipher selection \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/571](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/571)\)\. ### Bugfixes * action plugin helper \- fix handling of deprecations for ansible\-core 2\.14\.2 \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/572](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/572)\)\. * execution environment binary dependencies \(bindep\.txt\) \- fix python3\-pyOpenSSL dependency resolution on RHEL 9\+ / CentOS Stream 9\+ platforms \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/575](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/575)\)\. * various plugins \- remove unnecessary imports \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/569](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/569)\)\. ## v2\.10\.0 ### Release Summary Bugfix and feature release\. ### Bugfixes * openssl\_csr\, openssl\_csr\_pipe \- prevent invalid values for crl\_distribution\_points that do not have one of full\_name\, relative\_name\, and crl\_issuer \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/560](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/560)\)\. * openssl\_publickey\_info \- do not crash with internal error when public key cannot be parsed \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/551](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/551)\)\. ### New Plugins #### Filter * openssl\_csr\_info \- Retrieve information from OpenSSL Certificate Signing Requests \(CSR\) * openssl\_privatekey\_info \- Retrieve information from OpenSSL private keys * openssl\_publickey\_info \- Retrieve information from OpenSSL public keys in PEM format * split\_pem \- Split PEM file contents into multiple objects * x509\_certificate\_info \- Retrieve information from X\.509 certificates in PEM format * x509\_crl\_info \- Retrieve information from X\.509 CRLs in PEM format ## v2\.9\.0 ### Release Summary Regular feature release\. ### Minor Changes * x509\_certificate\_info \- adds issuer\_uri field in return value based on Authority Information Access data \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/530](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/530)\)\. ## v2\.8\.1 ### Release Summary Maintenance release with improved documentation\. ## v2\.8\.0 ### Release Summary Feature release\. ### Minor Changes * acme\_\* modules \- handle more gracefully if CA\'s new nonce call does not return a nonce \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/525](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/525)\)\. * acme\_\* modules \- include symbolic HTTP status codes in error and log messages when available \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/524](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/524)\)\. * openssl\_pkcs12 \- add option encryption\_level which allows to chose compatibility2022 when cryptography \>\= 38\.0\.0 is used to enable a more backwards compatible encryption algorithm\. If cryptography uses OpenSSL 3\.0\.0 or newer\, the default algorithm is not compatible with older software \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/523](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/523)\)\. ## v2\.7\.1 ### Release Summary Maintenance release\. ### Bugfixes * acme\_\* modules \- improve feedback when importing cryptography does not work \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/issues/518](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/issues/518)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/519](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/519)\)\. ## v2\.7\.0 ### Release Summary Feature release\. ### Minor Changes * acme\* modules \- also support the HTTP 503 Service Unavailable and 408 Request Timeout response status for automatic retries \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/513](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/513)\)\. ### Bugfixes * openssl\_privatekey\_pipe \- ensure compatibility with newer versions of ansible\-core \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/515](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/515)\)\. ## v2\.6\.0 ### Release Summary Feature release\. ### Minor Changes * acme\* modules \- support the HTTP 429 Too Many Requests response status \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/508](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/508)\)\. * openssh\_keypair \- added pkcs1\, pkcs8\, and ssh to the available choices for the private\_key\_format option \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/511](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/511)\)\. ## v2\.5\.0 ### Release Summary Maintenance release with improved licensing declaration and documentation fixes\. ### Minor Changes * All software licenses are now in the LICENSES/ directory of the collection root\. Moreover\, SPDX\-License\-Identifier\: is used to declare the applicable license for every file that is not automatically generated \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/491](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/491)\)\. ## v2\.4\.0 ### Release Summary Deprecation and bugfix release\. No new features this time\. ### Deprecated Features * Support for Ansible 2\.9 and ansible\-base 2\.10 is deprecated\, and will be removed in the next major release \(community\.crypto 3\.0\.0\)\. Some modules might still work with these versions afterwards\, but we will no longer keep compatibility code that was needed to support them \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/460](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/460)\)\. ### Bugfixes * openssl\_pkcs12 \- when using the pyOpenSSL backend\, do not crash when trying to read non\-existing other certificates \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/issues/486](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/issues/486)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/487](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/487)\)\. ## v2\.3\.4 ### Release Summary Re\-release of what was intended to be 2\.3\.3\. A mistake during the release process caused the 2\.3\.3 tag to end up on the commit for 1\.9\.17\, which caused the release pipeline to re\-publish 1\.9\.17 as 2\.3\.3\. This release is identical to what should have been 2\.3\.3\, except that the version number has been bumped to 2\.3\.4 and this changelog entry for 2\.3\.4 has been added\. ## v2\.3\.3 ### Release Summary Bugfix release\. ### Bugfixes * Include Apache\-2\.0\.txt file for plugins/module\_utils/crypto/\_obj2txt\.py and plugins/module\_utils/crypto/\_objects\_data\.py\. * openssl\_csr \- the module no longer crashes with \'permitted\_subtrees/excluded\_subtrees must be a non\-empty list or None\' if only one of name\_constraints\_permitted and name\_constraints\_excluded is provided \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/issues/481](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/issues/481)\)\. * x509\_crl \- do not crash when signing CRL with Ed25519 or Ed448 keys \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/issues/473](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/issues/473)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/474](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/474)\)\. ## v2\.3\.2 ### Release Summary Maintenance and bugfix release\. ### Bugfixes * Include simplified\_bsd\.txt license file for the ECS module utils\. * certificate\_complete\_chain \- do not stop execution if an unsupported signature algorithm is encountered\; warn instead \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/457](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/457)\)\. ## v2\.3\.1 ### Release Summary Maintenance release\. ### Bugfixes * Include PSF\-license\.txt file for plugins/module\_utils/\_version\.py\. ## v2\.3\.0 ### Release Summary Feature and bugfix release\. ### Minor Changes * Prepare collection for inclusion in an Execution Environment by declaring its dependencies\. Please note that system packages are used for cryptography and PyOpenSSL\, which can be rather limited\. If you need features from newer cryptography versions\, you will have to manually force a newer version to be installed by pip by specifying something like cryptography \>\= 37\.0\.0 in your Execution Environment\'s Python dependencies file \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/440](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/440)\)\. * Support automatic conversion for Internalionalized Domain Names \(IDNs\)\. When passing general names\, for example Subject Alternative Names to community\.crypto\.openssl\_csr\, these will automatically be converted to IDNA\. Conversion will be done per label to IDNA2008 if possible\, and IDNA2003 if IDNA2008 conversion fails for that label\. Note that IDNA conversion requires [the Python idna library](https\://pypi\.org/project/idna/) to be installed\. Please note that depending on which versions of the cryptography library are used\, it could try to process the converted IDNA another time with the Python idna library and reject IDNA2003 encoded values\. Using a new enough cryptography version avoids this \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/issues/426](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/issues/426)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/436](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/436)\)\. * acme\_\* modules \- add parameter request\_timeout to manage HTTP\(S\) request timeout \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/issues/447](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/issues/447)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/448](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/448)\)\. * luks\_devices \- added perf\_same\_cpu\_crypt\, perf\_submit\_from\_crypt\_cpus\, perf\_no\_read\_workqueue\, perf\_no\_write\_workqueue for performance tuning when opening LUKS2 containers \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/issues/427](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/issues/427)\)\. * luks\_devices \- added persistent option when opening LUKS2 containers \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/434](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/434)\)\. * openssl\_csr\_info \- add name\_encoding option to control the encoding \(IDNA\, Unicode\) used to return domain names in general names \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/436](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/436)\)\. * openssl\_pkcs12 \- allow to provide the private key as text instead of having to read it from a file\. This allows to store the private key in an encrypted form\, for example in Ansible Vault \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/452](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/452)\)\. * x509\_certificate\_info \- add name\_encoding option to control the encoding \(IDNA\, Unicode\) used to return domain names in general names \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/436](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/436)\)\. * x509\_crl \- add name\_encoding option to control the encoding \(IDNA\, Unicode\) used to return domain names in general names \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/436](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/436)\)\. * x509\_crl\_info \- add name\_encoding option to control the encoding \(IDNA\, Unicode\) used to return domain names in general names \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/436](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/436)\)\. ### Bugfixes * Make collection more robust when PyOpenSSL is used with an incompatible cryptography version \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/445](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/445)\)\. * x509\_crl \- fix crash when issuer for a revoked certificate is specified \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/441](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/441)\)\. ## v2\.2\.4 ### Release Summary Regular maintenance release\. ### Bugfixes * openssh\_\* modules \- fix exception handling to report traceback to users for enhanced traceability \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/417](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/417)\)\. ## v2\.2\.3 ### Release Summary Regular bugfix release\. ### Bugfixes * luks\_device \- fix parsing of lsblk output when device name ends with crypt \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/issues/409](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/issues/409)\, [https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/410](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/410)\)\. ## v2\.2\.2 ### Release Summary Regular bugfix release\.

For extensions not handled by C\(cryptography\) the value contained in the source file is always returned unaltered \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/318](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/318)\)\. * module\_utils \- removed various PyOpenSSL support functions and default backend values that are not needed for the openssl\_pkcs12 module \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/273](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/273)\)\. * openssl\_csr\, openssl\_csr\_pipe\, x509\_crl \- the subject respectively issuer fields no longer ignore empty values\, but instead fail when encountering them \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/316](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/316)\)\. * openssl\_privatekey\_info \- by default consistency checks are not run\; they need to be explicitly requested by passing check\_consistency\=true \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/309](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/309)\)\. * x509\_crl \- for idempotency checks\, the issuer order is ignored\. If order is important\, use the new issuer\_ordered option \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/316](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/316)\)\. ### Deprecated Features * acme\_\* modules \- ACME version 1 is now deprecated and support for it will be removed in community\.crypto 2\.0\.0 \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/288](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/288)\)\. ### Removed Features \(previously deprecated\) * acme\_\* modules \- the acme\_directory option is now required \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/290](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/290)\)\. * acme\_\* modules \- the acme\_version option is now required \([https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/290](https\://github\.com/ansible\-collections/community\.crypto/pull/290)\)\. * acme\_account\_facts \- the deprecated redirect has been removed\.

Auto\-detection can be overwritten with the select\_crypto\_backend option\. * openssl\_pkcs12 \- allow to return the existing/generated PKCS\#12 directly as pkcs12 by setting return\_content to yes\. * openssl\_privatekey \- add format and format\_mismatch options\. * openssl\_privatekey \- allow to return the existing/generated private key directly as privatekey by setting return\_content to yes\. * openssl\_privatekey \- the regenerate option allows to configure the module\'s behavior when it should or needs to regenerate private keys\. * openssl\_privatekey\_info \- allow to provide private key content via content option\. * openssl\_publickey \- allow to provide private key content via private\_key\_content option\. * openssl\_publickey \- allow to return the existing/generated public key directly as publickey by setting return\_content to yes\. ### Deprecated Features * openssl\_csr \- all values for the version option except 1 are deprecated\. The value 1 denotes the current only standardized CSR version\. ### Removed Features \(previously deprecated\) * The letsencrypt module has been removed\. Use acme\_certificate instead\. ### Bugfixes * ACME modules\: fix bug in ACME v1 account update code * ACME modules\: make sure some connection errors are handled properly * ACME modules\: support Buypass\' ACME v1 endpoint * acme\_certificate \- fix crash when module is used with Python 2\.x\. * acme\_certificate \- fix misbehavior when ACME v1 is used with modify\_account set to false\. * ecs\_certificate \- Always specify header connection\: keep\-alive for ECS API connections\. * ecs\_certificate \- Fix formatting of contents of full\_chain\_path\. * get\_certificate \- Fix cryptography backend when pyopenssl is unavailable \([https\://github\.com/ansible/ansible/issues/67900](https\://github\.com/ansible/ansible/issues/67900)\) * openssh\_keypair \- add logic to avoid breaking password protected keys\. * openssh\_keypair \- fixes idempotence issue with public key \([https\://github\.com/ansible/ansible/issues/64969](https\://github\.com/ansible/ansible/issues/64969)\)\. * openssh\_keypair \- public key\'s file attributes \(permissions\, owner\, group\, etc\.\) are now set to the same values as the private key\. * openssl\_\* modules \- prevent crash on fingerprint determination in FIPS mode \([https\://github\.com/ansible/ansible/issues/67213](https\://github\.com/ansible/ansible/issues/67213)\)\. * openssl\_certificate \- When provider is entrust\, use a connection\: keep\-alive header for ECS API connections\. * openssl\_certificate \- provider option was documented as required\, but it was not checked whether it was provided\. It is now only required when state is present\. * openssl\_certificate \- fix assertonly provider certificate verification\, causing \'private key mismatch\' and \'subject mismatch\' errors\. * openssl\_certificate and openssl\_csr \- fix Ed25519 and Ed448 private key support for cryptography backend\. This probably needs at least cryptography 2\.8\, since older versions have problems with signing certificates or CSRs with such keys\. \([https\://github\.com/ansible/ansible/issues/59039](https\://github\.com/ansible/ansible/issues/59039)\, PR [https\://github\.com/ansible/ansible/pull/63984](https\://github\.com/ansible/ansible/pull/63984)\) * openssl\_csr \- a warning is issued if an unsupported value for version is used for the cryptography backend\. * openssl\_csr \- the module will now enforce that privatekey\_path is specified when state\=present\. * openssl\_publickey \- fix a module crash caused when pyOpenSSL is not installed \([https\://github\.com/ansible/ansible/issues/67035](https\://github\.com/ansible/ansible/issues/67035)\)\. ### New Modules * ecs\_domain \- Request validation of a domain with the Entrust Certificate Services \(ECS\) API * x509\_crl \- Generate Certificate Revocation Lists \(CRLs\) * x509\_crl\_info \- Retrieve information on Certificate Revocation Lists \(CRLs\)
