How to pass certificate via AWX credential

Get Help
1

One of the user is trying to pass certificates via credential. For that he created credential type and credential in AWX. The credential contains ca_certificate, certificate, key etc.

However, the system is unable to identify the certificate upon execution.

Credential type:
fields:

  • id: ca_cert
    type: string
    label: CA Certificate
  • id: client_cert
    type: string
    label: Client Certificate
  • id: client_key
    type: string
    label: client Key

Injector config:
extra_vars:
ca_cert: ‘{{ ca_cert }}’
client_key: ‘{{ client_key }}’
client_cert: ‘{{ client_cert }}’

I have attached screenshot of the credential with this.

Error:
To see the full traceback, use -vvv. The error was: Exception: Task failed to complete. (failed; no start line: cadata does not contain a certificate (_ssl.c:4163))

fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {“changed”: false, “msg”: “Task failed to complete. (failed; no start line: cadata does not contain a certificate (_ssl.c:4163))”}

Hello @amvj,
Would you mind providing the specific credential type that you are using? We have quite a few different types and the configuration will vary based on that.

Would you mind also providing us with the version you are using as well, please? Thank you so much for your time!

Also, have you tried to pass the CA certs the way it was described (syntax-wise) in the example from step 4 of Creating a New Custom Credential Type?

Hi
We are using a custom credential and the same has been provided above. I am repasting it once again:

Credential type:
fields:

  • id: ca_cert
    type: string
    label: CA Certificate
  • id: client_cert
    type: string
    label: Client Certificate
  • id: client_key
    type: string
    label: client Key

Injector config:
extra_vars:
ca_cert: ‘{{ ca_cert }}’
client_key: ‘{{ client_key }}’
client_cert: ‘{{ client_cert }}’

The AWX version is 24.2.0
