First time VPN deployment using Ansible about ansible-galaxy-fortios-collection

Hi @shariaty59

TypeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'getitem'\n" usually means it tries to read a parameter but not found.

You missed a key variable: state.

Example as below:

tasks:
  - name: Configure Phase1 Interface
    fortios_vpn_ipsec_phase1_interface:
      state: "present"
      vdom:  "{{ vdom }}"
      vpn_ipsec_phase1_interface:
        interface: 'port1'

worked like a charm :) one last question, Do you know a way I pass the user name and password when I run it each time? instead of having it in the hosts file.

@shariaty59,

Yes, you can pass the params ansible_user and ansible_password as below:

- hosts: fortigates
  connection: httpapi
  collections:
    - fortinet.fortios
  vars:
    vdom: "root"
    ansible_httpapi_use_ssl: yes
    ansible_httpapi_validate_certs: no
    ansible_httpapi_port: 443
    ansible_user: "admin"
    ansible_password: "123"
  tasks:
  - name: Configure Phase1 Interface

The hosts file should be like this:

[fortigates]
fortigate01 ansible_host=10.160.21.160

[fortigates:vars]
ansible_network_os=fortinet.fortios.fortios

Thank you so much
