Example

- name: Create ACL policy
  consul_acl_policy:
    name: example
    # Rules specified as an HCL string
    rules: |
      service "example" {
        policy = "write"
      }
    state: present
    url: https://localhost:8500
    token: a22c5e4f-0f48-4907-82db-843c6baf75be # Requires acl:write
  register: consul_acl_policy

- name: Create ACL token
  consul_acl_token:
    description: Example token
    # Policies specified as a list of PolicyLink objects: https://www.consul.io/api/acl/tokens.html#policies
    policies:
      - id: "{{ consul_acl_policy.id }}"
    local: true
    state: present
    url: https://localhost:8500
    token: a22c5e4f-0f48-4907-82db-843c6baf75be # Requires acl:write
  register: consul_acl_token

Environment variables

Some of the environment variables for the Consul CLI will be used if they are defined:

• CONSUL_HTTP_ADDR for the url parameter. Prefix with https:// instead of setting CONSUL_HTTP_SSL=true
• CONSUL_HTTP_TOKEN for the token parameter
• CONSUL_CLIENT_CERT for the client_cert parameter
• CONSUL_CLIENT_KEY for the client_key parameter

Testing locally

To run the functional tests, set the following environment variables from the project root directory:

export ANSIBLE_LIBRARY="$PWD/ansible/modules/consul_acl"
export ANSIBLE_MODULE_UTILS="$PWD/ansible/module_utils"

Then run the test playbooks in a Python environment without ansible-modules-consul-acl installed.
