I am playing around with hazelcast, using aws cloudformation and ansible to spin up a cluster of two hazelcast nodes + a separate mancenter.
All documentation on the mancenter implies everything must be done manually by a user in a browser. However this is not ideal as we will have many environments and have a hardened ami provided to us every few weeks which we must update existing environment to.
What I am trying to do is create an ansible role that automatically creates the first admin user, and then adds the enterprise license into the mancenter.
I have successfully scripted the user creation (just http for now, baby steps)
- name: Check for first user
uri:
url: "http://{{ hazelcastmanagement_dns }}:8080/mancenter/user.do?operation=anyUser&_=1480397059541"
method: GET
return_content: no
register: anyuser
until: anyuser.json["anyUser"] is defined
retries: 10
delay: 5
- name: Register Admin user
uri:
url: "http://{{ hazelcastmanagement_dns }}:8080/mancenter/user.do?operation=signUp&username={{ hazelcastmanagement_user }}&password={{ hazelcastmanagement_password }}&confirmpassword={{ hazelcastmanagement_password }}&email={{ hazelcastmanagement_email }}&_=1479951949840"
method: GET
return_content: no
register: result
until: result.json["success"] is defined
retries: 10
delay: 5
when: anyuser.json["anyUser"] == "false"
However I am having trouble successfully orchestrating the update license call. In a browser, certain calls return the JSESSION ID, and HTTP 200's. When trying to emulate this in ansible however, I am always getting a 302, redirect to the login page.
I have pasted the tasks below that I am attempting. These task examples do not contain many headers, however I have tried emulating every single header that a browser sends previously but had the same result.
- name: Call to update license unauthorized (returns set_cookie)
uri:
url: "http://{{ hazelcastmanagement_dns }}:8080/mancenter/main.do"
method: POST
return_content: yes
body: "operation=savelicense_getLicenceInfo&key={{ hazelcast_license }} "
status_code: 302
register: cookie
- name: Login (302 ok because browser mirrors this result)
uri:
url: "http://{{ hazelcastmanagement_dns }}:8080/mancenter/j_spring_security_check"
method: POST
body: "j_username={{ hazelcastmanagement_user }}&j_password={{ hazelcastmanagement_password }}"
return_content: yes
status_code: 302
HEADER_Cookie: "{{cookie.set_cookie}}"
- name: Call to update license authorized
uri:
url: "http://{{ hazelcastmanagement_dns }}:8080/mancenter/main.do"
method: POST
return_content: yes
body: "operation=savelicense_getLicenceInfo&key={{ hazelcast_license }}"
HEADER_Cookie: "{{cookie.set_cookie}}"
My ansible task logs are below, -vvvv Hoping someone else has looked into this previously, could not find any questions related to it elsewhere however. Ansible Log Output:

EDIT: Thanks for that solution emre. Using curl was the way to go.
I tried a few more times with the uri ansible module. But no dice... must be something under the hood going on.
Since your curl's hit the nail on the head, I just wrapped this in the ansible command module instead of using the uri module to construct the calls. I chdir to /tmp to ensure I have write access for the cookie file.
- name: Login to management
shell: "curl -X POST http://{{ hazelcastmanagement_dns }}:8080/mancenter/j_spring_security_check -d "j_username={{ hazelcastmanagement_user}}" -d "j_password={{ hazelcastmanagement_password }}" -c cookies.file
args:
chdir: /tmp
- name: Login to management
shell: "curl -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -X POST http://{{ hazelcastmanagement_dns }}:8080/mancenter/main.do?operation=savelicense -d 'key={{ hazelcast_licence }}' -b cookies.file
args:
chdir: /tmp
I don't know about Ansible, but using cUrl you can log in and set the license key as follows:
curl -X POST http://localhost:8083/mancenter/j_spring_security_check -d "j_username=emre" -d "j_password=Password1" -c cookies.file
curl -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -X POST http://localhost:8083/mancenter/main.do?operation=savelicense -d 'key=aaaa' -b cookies.file
Note that you need to log in with an admin user and the license key you provide needs to be correct for the server to return 200.
Edit:
With Hazelcast Management Center version 3.9.3, a new system property to configure the license was introduced. See the release notes for version 3.9.3 and the relevant section on the latest reference manual for details.
