cyberark_modules

Role to add CyberArk modules -- If not available from ansible core, or to get the latest.

Requirements

• CyberArk Privileged Account Security Web Services SDK.
• CyberArk AIM Central Credential Provider

Role Variables

None.

Provided Modules

• cyberark_authentication: Module for CyberArk Vault Authentication using Privileged Account Security Web Services SDK
• cyberark_user: Module for CyberArk User Management using Privileged Account Security Web Services SDK
• cyberark_credential: Module for CyberArk credential retrieval using Cyberark Central Credential Provider.

NOTE: For access to the cyberark_credential functionality, the library/cyberark_credential.py file will need to be added to the Ansible modules directory of the Ansible server.
