Fingerprint for the key pair being used. If not set, then the value of the OCI_USER_FINGERPRINT environment variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the key fingerprint is not specified through a configuration file (See config_file_location). To get the key pair's fingerprint value please refer https://docs.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com/Content/API/Concepts/apisigningkey.htm.
api_user_key_file
string
Full path and filename of the private key (in PEM format). If not set, then the value of the OCI_USER_KEY_FILE variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the private key is not specified through a configuration file (See config_file_location). If the key is encrypted with a pass-phrase, the api_user_key_pass_phrase option must also be provided.
api_user_key_pass_phrase
string
Passphrase used by the key referenced in api_user_key_file, if it is encrypted. If not set, then the value of the OCI_USER_KEY_PASS_PHRASE variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the key passphrase is not specified through a configuration file (See config_file_location).

  • resource_principal
  • security_token
The type of authentication to use for making API requests. By default auth_type="api_key" based authentication is performed and the API key (see api_user_key_file) in your config file will be used. If this 'auth_type' module option is not specified, the value of the OCI_ANSIBLE_AUTH_TYPE, if any, is used. Use auth_type="instance_principal" to use instance principal based authentication when running ansible playbooks within an OCI compute instance.

Applicable only for action=addaction=update.
description
string
An optional description of your choice for the rule. Avoid entering confidential information.
destination
string
Conceptually, this is the range of IP addresses that a packet originating from the instance can go to.
Allowed values:
* An IP address range in CIDR notation. For example: `192.168.1.0/24` or `2001:0db8:0123:45::/56` IPv6 addressing is supported for all commercial and government regions. See IPv6 Addresses.
* The `cidrBlock` value for a Service, if you're setting up a security rule for traffic destined for a particular `Service` through a service gateway. For example: `oci-phx-objectstorage`.
* The OCID of a NetworkSecurityGroup in the same VCN. The value can be the NSG that the rule belongs to if the rule's intent is to control traffic between VNICs in the same NSG.
destination_type
string
    Choices:
  • CIDR_BLOCK
  • SERVICE_CIDR_BLOCK

* `SERVICE_CIDR_BLOCK`: If the rule's `destination` is the `cidrBlock` value for a Service (the rule is for traffic destined for a particular `Service` through a service gateway).
* `NETWORK_SECURITY_GROUP`: If the rule's `destination` is the OCID of a NetworkSecurityGroup.
direction
string / required
    Choices:

is_stateless
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
A stateless rule allows traffic in one direction. Remember to add a corresponding stateless rule in the other direction if you need to support bidirectional traffic. For example, if egress traffic allows TCP destination port 80, there should be an ingress rule to allow TCP source port 80. Defaults to false, which means the rule is stateful and a corresponding rule is not necessary for bidirectional traffic.
protocol
string / required
The transport protocol. Specify either `all` or an IPv4 protocol number as defined in Protocol Numbers. Options are supported only for ICMP ("1"), TCP ("6"), UDP ("17"), and ICMPv6 ("58").

* The `cidrBlock` value for a Service, if you're setting up a security rule for traffic coming from a particular `Service` through a service gateway. For example: `oci-phx-objectstorage`.
* The OCID of a NetworkSecurityGroup in the same VCN. The value can be the NSG that the rule belongs to if the rule's intent is to control traffic between VNICs in the same NSG.

Type of source for the rule. Required if `direction` = `INGRESS`.
* `CIDR_BLOCK`: If the rule's `source` is an IP address range in CIDR notation.
* `SERVICE_CIDR_BLOCK`: If the rule's `source` is the `cidrBlock` value for a Service (the rule is for traffic coming from a particular `Service` through a service gateway).
* `NETWORK_SECURITY_GROUP`: If the rule's `source` is the OCID of a NetworkSecurityGroup.
