What do you mean by ‘ansible server’?

Ansible Tower?

Hi,

You have to follow the general certificate installation process and convert that into a playbook.

Suggestion :

1. Run certification install process manually.
2. Then convert those process into ansible task.

I think that is the only way you can achieve this.
