Hello,

I'm new to Ansible and have been giving it some attention in my test 
environment to see how feasible it is to utilize in production... Mainly to 
provision/configure/manage 30 or so Windows web-servers.

I was able to copy and install my cert and bind it to my site with 
win_iis_webbinding; however, testing if I need to update the cert for 
whatever reason, I upload a new cert, change the certificate_hash, and 
nothing happens. The old cert is still in play. It's my understanding from 
looking around on other sites that the certificate_hash isn't inspected 
when reviewing pending changes on a playbook play regarding this module, so 
I'm curious if there's a way to accomplish updating the cert if the 
certificate_hash is different.

I attempted to run a play in the playbook to mark the port binding as 
absent before setting the new thumbprint in the certificate_hash, but 
received an error stating that it "Cannot create a file when that file 
already exists." 
Digging deeper I found that if I remove the play below that adds SSL 
Binding for new site, and only set state of the binding to absent, then the 
SSL binding is removed. If I try to add the play below in with the new 
thumbprint, I get the error that the file already exists and the binding 
reappears with the original cert, not the new updated one. So regardless of 
what I define the certificate_hash, the original hash always gets added.


Portion of Playbook:

#- name: Remove SSL Binding for newSite
#  win_iis_webbinding:
#    name: newSite
#    protocol: https
#    port: 443
#    state: absent

- name: Add SSL Binding for newSite
  win_iis_webbinding:
    name: newSite
    protocol: https
    port: 443
    certificate_hash: thumbprint (when changed, it gets skipped and never 
updates on IIS sites)
    state: present

Does anyone know of a way to update the cert on a site? Or would it just be 
best to explore options outside of the module to accomplish this task, such 
as running a win_shell command with an args, or something else along those 
lines...?

Thanks,

John
