Ansible Role: ADCS (Ludus)

An Ansible Role that installs ADCS on Windows Server and optionally configures Certified Preowned templates.

• Turns the VM assigned the "badsectorlabs.adcs" role into a Certificate Authority
• Optionally, creates certificate templates for ESC1,2,3, and 13
• Optionally, configures ATTRIBUTESUBJECTALTNAME2 on CA for ESC6
• Optionally, enables web enrollment for ESC8
• Optionally, for ESC13, creates a user (esc13user), group (esc13group), template (ESC13), and Issuance policy (IssuancePolicyForESC13)

[!WARNING] This role is not idempotent! Setting a ludus_adcs_escX value to true, applying the role, then setting it to false and applying the role will NOT remove the template that is now set to false.

Requirements

None.
