"ansible_checkpoint_domain" variable doesn't work.

[Giancarlo Mora Arias]

According to the existing documentation you can switch domains by making use of the variable "ansible_checkpoint_domain" but that doesn't work, instead what's happening is the API calls are going locally.

Apparently my parameters are be fine because if I try the same from Postman the changes are reflected as expected.

ansible 2.9.7

- name: example_playbook
  hosts: check_point
  connection: httpapi
  tasks:
    - name: set-service-tcp
      cp_mgmt_service_tcp:
      name: %SERVICE%
      ...
      auto_publish_session: yes

    vars:
      ansible_checkpoint_domain: "%DOMAIN%"

Hi @gmoraa

Which version of the collection are you using?

[Giancarlo Mora Arias]

@chkp-orso "api-server-version": "1.5"

[chkp-orso]

@gmoraa Thanks, but this is the version of the API server.
I meant do you use the Ansible core or the collection?
If you use the collection, which version?

Hi,
We have the same issue here with Ansible 2.9.10 and Checkpoint R80.40.
Is there any solution to specify domain in MDS environment ?

[Giancarlo Mora Arias]

@gmoraa Thanks, but this is the version of the API server.

If you use the collection, which version?

@chkp-orso Sorry for the late reply, I missed your message. I am using Ansible Core 2.9.7 and CheckPoint R80.30.

Let me know if more details are required.

Hi,
I am facing the same problem when using the included collection in Ansible 2.9.7.
When Im using the Collection explicitly (version 1.0.5), its working.

I thought that I would also need to include the collection with

collections:
  - check_point.mgmt

or use

check_point.mgmt.MODULE instead of MODULE

but it looks like only changing
ansible_network_os: checkpoint to ansible_network_os: check_point.mgmt.checkpoint
is enough.

[chkp-orso]

Hi,

That's OK @gmoraa :)
@gmoraa @Arenaos You need to use the latest version of the collection.
@alex-barth I highly recommand that you use also the collections' modules (with your trick you use only the collection plugin)

Thanks,

@alex-barth,

When Im using the Collection explicitly (version 1.0.5), its working.

so, you are saying that you need to install an "extra" collection ?

Because i tried to simply replace ansible_network_os: checkpoint to ansible_network_os: check_point.mgmt.checkpoint not enough...

[chkp-orso]

@alex-barth
I'm not sure I understood your question.
But at the bottom line you just need to use the collection.

[Arenaos]

But at the bottom line you just need to use the collection.

The collection is not natively installed with ansible 2.9?

[chkp-orso]

No :(

[Arenaos]

So, the native modules in Ansible 2.9 stands for what purpose ? I have also installed the SDK module check_point_mgmt from your GitHub https://github.com/CheckPointSW/cpAnsible . Have you documentation for the installation ?
Thanks !

[chkp-orso]

you don't need https://github.com/CheckPointSW/cpAnsible
you just need this collection

Yes, sorry for creating confusion, I just wanted to narrow down the problem. I am actually also using the collection modules.

Thanks
Alex
