removing out of date example ansible.cfg, show user how to generate from ansible-config
Co-authored-by: Alicia Cozine <879121+acozine@users.noreply.github.com>
PR #70446: it's a follow-up for #70445.
It includes a merge of `examples/scripts/uptime.py` and a similar
code snippet from `docs/docsite/rst/dev_guide/developing_api.rst`.
This patch also changes the docs RST file to include contents of
the example file instead of holding a copy of a similar code.
Previous version initialized the `TaskQueueManager` after calling
`Play.load()` while advertising a way to inject a custom library
location path. This caused the tasks loader not to find any custom
modules because it was triggered before the path was actually added
to the module loader.
This patch changes the order of the operations to ensure that the
customized `context.CLIARGS` actually influences things.
Resolves https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/69758.
Use %C as the ControlPath setting in the example config file. The old setting used %h and %r tokens, which break ansible for a few use cases, including packer provisioning, where hostname is always 127.0.0.1. %C is a hash of local host, remote host, username and port.

* [WIP] become plugins
Move from hardcoded method to plugins for ease of use, expansion and overrides
- load into connection as it is going to be the main consumer
- play_context will also use to keep backwards compat API
- ensure shell is used to construct commands when needed
- migrate settings remove from base config in favor of plugin specific configs
- cleanup ansible-doc
- add become plugin docs
- remove deprecated sudo/su code and keywords
- adjust become options for cli
- set plugin options from context
- ensure config defs are avaialbe before instance
- refactored getting the shell plugin, fixed tests
- changed into regex as they were string matching, which does not work with random string generation
- explicitly set flags for play context tests
- moved plugin loading up front
- now loads for basedir also
- allow pyc/o for non m modules
- fixes to tests and some plugins
- migrate to play objects fro play_context
- simiplify gathering
- added utf8 headers
- moved option setting
- add fail msg to dzdo
- use tuple for multiple options on fail/missing
- fix relative plugin paths
- shift from play context to play
- all tasks already inherit this from play directly
- remove obsolete 'set play'
- correct environment handling
- add wrap_exe option to pfexec
- fix runas to noop
- fixed setting play context
- added password configs
- removed required false
- remove from doc building till they are ready
future development:
- deal with 'enable' and 'runas' which are not 'command wrappers' but 'state flags' and currently hardcoded in diff subsystems
* cleanup
remove callers to removed func
removed --sudo cli doc refs
remove runas become_exe
ensure keyerorr on plugin
also fix backwards compat, missing method is attributeerror, not ansible error
get remote_user consistently
ignore missing system_tmpdirs on plugin load
correct config precedence
add deprecation
fix networking imports
backwards compat for plugins using BECOME_METHODS
* Port become_plugins to context.CLIARGS
This is a work in progress:
* Stop passing options around everywhere as we can use context.CLIARGS
instead
* Refactor make_become_commands as asked for by alikins
* Typo in comment fix
* Stop loading values from the cli in more than one place
Both play and play_context were saving default values from the cli
arguments directly. This changes things so that the default values are
loaded into the play and then play_context takes them from there.
* Rename BECOME_PLUGIN_PATH to DEFAULT_BECOME_PLUGIN_PATH
As alikins said, all other plugin paths are named
DEFAULT_plugintype_PLUGIN_PATH. If we're going to rename these, that
should be done all at one time rather than piecemeal.
* One to throw away
This is a set of hacks to get setting FieldAttribute defaults to command
line args to work. It's not fully done yet.
After talking it over with sivel and jimi-c this should be done by
fixing FieldAttributeBase and _get_parent_attribute() calls to do the
right thing when there is a non-None default.
What we want to be able to do ideally is something like this:
class Base(FieldAttributeBase):
_check_mode = FieldAttribute([..] default=lambda: context.CLIARGS['check'])
class Play(Base):
# lambda so that we have a chance to parse the command line args
# before we get here. In the future we might be able to restructure
# this so that the cli parsing code runs before these classes are
# defined.
class Task(Base):
pass
And still have a playbook like this function:
---
- hosts:
tasks:
- command: whoami
check_mode: True
(The check_mode test that is added as a separate commit in this PR will
let you test variations on this case).
There's a few separate reasons that the code doesn't let us do this or
a non-ugly workaround for this as written right now. The fix that
jimi-c, sivel, and I talked about may let us do this or it may still
require a workaround (but less ugly) (having one class that has the
FieldAttributes with default values and one class that inherits from
that but just overrides the FieldAttributes which now have defaults)
* Revert "One to throw away"
This reverts commit 23aa883cbed11429ef1be2a2d0ed18f83a3b8064.
* Set FieldAttr defaults directly from CLIARGS

auto plugin should run before ini to avoid ini being able to parse
some plugin configuration YAML files successfully.
* Update comment
comment was added by 2ffe3c42bb but
related code was later removed by
506e6a0b2d.
* Generate SHA256 signed certificates
Vulnerability scanners are increasingly reporting SHA-1 signed certificates as a vulnerability on servers. Before this change, -ForceNewSSLCert generates a signature algorithm that openssl shows as sha1WthRSAEncryption for WinRM port 5986. After, this forces certificates to be signed with SHA256, which openssl shows sha256WithRSAEncryption.
Some example SHA-1 deprecations include:
- https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/security-updates/SecurityAdvisories/2017/4010323
- https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2014/09/23/phasing-out-certificates-with-sha-1-based-signature-algorithms/
Also note that RDP 3389 on Windows 2016 also defaults to a SHA256 certificate.
The specifics were merged from a script mod I found at https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/PowerShell-script-to-7a0321b7 intended for Exchange. It also includes a mod to add an alternate DNS listing so the cert contains CN=HOSTNAME plus now also an alternative of the FQDN.
I tested this change on Windows 2008R2, 2012R2, and 2016 Datacenter.
* Keep WinRM cert key length at 4096.
* Remove WinRM cert exportpolicy setting.
* Allow the user to circumvent adding -tt on ssh commands to help aid in
debugging ssh related problems.
* Move config to the plugin
* Set version_added
* Change yaml section to "connection"
* Fix ssh unit tests
