UC4/Automic Configuration

Ansible role that installs UC4/Automic on RedHat 7

Requirements

None.

Dependencies

None.

Notes

This role configures UC4 Unix service manager and agent. It pulls the binaries down from a repository, such as Artifactory.

The UC4 user (default uc4) that is created uses both a password and uploads a public key.

For encrypting the password, see : https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices/faq.html#how-do-i-generate-crypted-passwords-for-the-user-module

For example:

ansible all -i localhost, -m debug -a "msg={{ 'mypassword' | password_hash('sha512', 'mysecretsalt') }}"

And set the output to the encrypted_uc4_user_pass variable

Variables

Example of the minimum variables to set are:

encrypted_uc4_user_pass:

uc4_rsapub: ssh-rsa AAAJFDSASDLKJF......

servicemanager_archive_location: "<path_to_servicemanage_archive>"

agent_archive_location: "<url_to_agent_archive>"

automic_ae_server_host: "my.host.com"

automic_ae_server_port: 2217
