<p>This module is part of the <aclass="reference external"href="https://galaxy.ansible.com/ui/repo/published/community/crypto/">community.crypto collection</a> (version 2.22.1).</p>
<p>It is not included in <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">ansible-core</span></code>.
To check whether it is installed, run <codeclass="code docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">ansible-galaxy</span><spanclass="pre">collection</span><spanclass="pre">list</span></code>.</p>
You need further requirements to be able to use this module,
see <aclass="reference internal"href="#ansible-collections-community-crypto-x509-certificate-info-module-requirements"><spanclass="std std-ref">Requirements</span></a> for details.</p>
<p>To use it in a playbook, specify: <codeclass="code docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">community.crypto.x509_certificate_info</span></code>.</p>
<li><p>Note that this module was called <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">openssl_certificate_info</span></code> when included directly in Ansible up to version 2.9. When moved to the collection <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">community.crypto</span></code>, it was renamed to <aclass="reference internal"href="#ansible-collections-community-crypto-x509-certificate-info-module"><spanclass="std std-ref">community.crypto.x509_certificate_info</span></a>. From Ansible 2.10 on, it can still be used by the old short name (or by <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">ansible.builtin.openssl_certificate_info</span></code>), which redirects to <aclass="reference internal"href="#ansible-collections-community-crypto-x509-certificate-info-module"><spanclass="std std-ref">community.crypto.x509_certificate_info</span></a>. When using FQCNs or when using the <aclass="reference external"href="https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/collections_using.html#using-collections-in-a-playbook">collections</a> keyword, the new name <aclass="reference internal"href="#ansible-collections-community-crypto-x509-certificate-info-module"><spanclass="std std-ref">community.crypto.x509_certificate_info</span></a> should be used to avoid a deprecation warning.</p></li>
