Authentication

Credentials can be supplied within a Playbook with the following parameters:

• username (subscription_user is a legacy alias)

• password (subscription_password is a legacy alias)

• token

However, the module can also inherit the credentials from environment variables:

• IONOS_USERNAME

• IONOS_PASSWORD

• IONOS_TOKEN

Username and password can be substituted by the token. Usage of the token is not mandatory. For generating a token, see this

NOTE: The API URL can be changed using the following parameter api_url in playbooks or using the IONOS_API_URL environment variable.

Storing credentials in environment variables is useful if you plan to store your PlayBooks using version control.
