Ansible role: openvpn as configure

This role enables idempotent configuration of the OpenVPN Access Server via the vendor provided sacli utility.

Currently it supports all the keys available via the ConfigPut option to sacli, but none of the other configurable items. Any PR's adding extra functionality will be welcomed.

Details

To ensure we don't run all the tasks every time Ansible runs, we deploy a simple idempotent wrapper files/config-set to the host on the first run (this uses jq, which the role will install). This script checks the current value for a given key only setting a new value if it differs from the current configuration.

The full list of options to ConfigPut is held in a list of maps in vars/main.yml, this enables Ansible friendly variable names to be used, these being looked up in that map at run time. If you find an option I've missed, or one that lacks documentation in the Variables section below, please feel free to submit a PR.

Requirements

Currently it is intended to be run against the OpenVPN AS Appliance as provided by OpenVPN on the AWS Marketplace. Any PRs which add support for a manually installed instance of OpenVPN AS are welcome.

Variables

Note: It is expected the SSL cert and key will be provided via an Ansible Vault or similar.

All of this section are passed verbatim through to sacli.
