Variables

Canvia aquestes variables per definir els teus propis secrets de token i de xifratge, i per limitar què poden cridar i mostrar els formularis.

Exemple

Els teus propis secrets, crides REST limitades a una API i a una xarxa interna, i una clau emmascarada més. Al .env del projecte compose:

ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET=change-me-to-a-long-random-string
ENCRYPTION_SECRET=change-me-to-32-random-characters
REST_ALLOWED_HOSTS=api.example.com,10.20.0.0/16
MASK_EXTRAVARS_REGEX=password|secret|token|apikey

Defineix ENCRYPTION_SECRET abans de desar la primera credencial. Des de la 7.3.0, definir-la o canviar-la torna a xifrar tots els secrets desats a la següent arrencada, amb ENCRYPTION_SECRET_PREVIOUS indicant la clau antiga quan era teva, vegeu Canviar el secret de xifratge.

Crides REST i jq

Des de la 7.3.0 les funcions auxiliars REST (fn.fnRestBasic, fn.fnRestAdvanced, fn.fnRestJwt, fn.fnRestJwtSecure) comproven el certificat de l’endpoint que criden, com qualsevol altra connexió; fins a la 7.2.0 no ho feien mai. S’hi apliquen tres ajustos:

Variable	Predeterminat	Efecte
`REST_IGNORE_CERTS`	`0`	`1` omet la comprovació del certificat: només per a endpoints amb un certificat autosignat
`REST_TIMEOUT_SECONDS`	`60`	Quant espera una crida REST una resposta abans de fallar per temps d’espera esgotat
`JQ_TIMEOUT_SECONDS`	`30`	Quant pot funcionar un filtre jq abans que s’aturi; la sortida de jq també està limitada a 64 MB

Totes tres tenen efecte en desar-les, sense reiniciar. Per a un endpoint el certificat del qual està signat per una CA privada, mantén la comprovació activada i dona aquesta CA a Node.js: defineix NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS amb un fitxer PEM que la contingui a l’entorn de l’aplicació i reinicia l’aplicació.

Variables

Totes les variables d’aquest grup, amb el seu tipus, el seu valor predeterminat i la seva descripció:

Variable	Opcions/Valors per defecte	Comentaris
VAULT_ADDR string		HashiCorp Vault address (deprecated) a valid HashiCorp Vault URL Deprecated since 7, removed in 8. The first 7.x start that finds these variables imports them once as the secret store `vault`; after that they are ignored. Manage the Vault under Connections > Secret stores. Base URL of a HashiCorp Vault server (e.g. `https://vault.example.com:8200`). When set together with `VAULT_TOKEN`, AnsibleForms can resolve credentials from Vault. A credential row in the local database can specify a `vault_path`; when present, the user/password are fetched from Vault at runtime instead of being read from the local encrypted columns.
VAULT_TOKEN string Secret		HashiCorp Vault token (deprecated) a valid Vault token Deprecated since 7, removed in 8. The first 7.x start that finds these variables imports them once as the secret store `vault`; after that they are ignored. Manage the Vault under Connections > Secret stores. Authentication token used by AnsibleForms to read secrets from Vault. Required when `VAULT_ADDR` is set. Use a token with read-only access to the relevant secret paths.
VAULT_NAMESPACE string		HashiCorp Vault namespace (deprecated) Deprecated since 7, removed in 8. The first 7.x start that finds these variables imports them once as the secret store `vault`; after that they are ignored. Manage the Vault under Connections > Secret stores. Optional Vault Enterprise namespace. Sent as the `X-Vault-Namespace` header on every request.
VAULT_KV_VERSION number	Valor per defecte: 2	Vault KV secret engine version (deprecated) 1, 2 Deprecated since 7, removed in 8. The first 7.x start that finds these variables imports them once as the secret store `vault`; after that they are ignored. Manage the Vault under Connections > Secret stores. Version of the Vault KV secret engine. Defaults to 2 (recommended). For KV v2, the client automatically inserts the `/data/` segment in the API path if it is missing.
VAULT_DEFAULT_MOUNT string	Valor per defecte: secret	Default Vault KV mount (deprecated) Deprecated since 7, removed in 8. The first 7.x start that finds these variables imports them once as the secret store `vault`; after that they are ignored. Manage the Vault under Connections > Secret stores. Default KV mount used when a credential’s `vault_path` is provided as a bare key (no slash). For example, with the default `secret` mount, `vault_path = "myapp"` resolves to `secret/data/myapp` (KV v2).
VAULT_CACHE_TTL_MS number	Valor per defecte: 60000	Vault read cache TTL (ms) (deprecated) Deprecated since 7, removed in 8. The first 7.x start that finds these variables imports them once as the secret store `vault`; after that they are ignored. Manage the Vault under Connections > Secret stores. Time-to-live in milliseconds of the in-memory cache used by AnsibleForms when reading secrets from Vault. Lower this if you rotate secrets aggressively; raise it to reduce load on Vault.
VAULT_SKIP_VERIFY string	Valor per defecte: false	Skip Vault TLS verification (deprecated) true, false Deprecated since 7, removed in 8. The first 7.x start that finds these variables imports them once as the secret store `vault`; after that they are ignored. Manage the Vault under Connections > Secret stores. Disable TLS certificate verification when calling Vault. For development/testing only — never enable this in production.
ENTRA_AUTHORITY_URI string added in version 7.3.0	Valor per defecte: https://login.microsoftonline.com	Microsoft Entra ID sign-in authority a valid base URI without slash on the end The Microsoft identity platform the server sends a Microsoft Entra ID sign-in to, with the tenant id of the provider after it (`<authority>/<tenant>/v2.0`). Change it for a national cloud, e.g. `https://login.microsoftonline.us` (US Government) or `https://login.chinacloudapi.cn` (China), together with `ENTRA_GRAPH_URI`. Read when the Microsoft Entra ID provider is enabled or saved. Only HTTPS is accepted, except with `NODE_ENV=development`, for a local test provider. Replaces `AZURE_AUTHORITY_URI`, still read when this one is not set.
ENTRA_GRAPH_URI string added in version 7.3.0	Valor per defecte: https://graph.microsoft.com	Microsoft Graph API base URI a valid base URI without slash on the end The Microsoft Graph endpoint the server calls at a Microsoft Entra ID login to read the user’s group membership (`/v1.0/me/transitiveMemberOf`). Since 6.5.3 that call is made by the AnsibleForms server, not by the browser, so the server needs a route to it - behind an egress proxy set `HTTPS_PROXY` and `NODE_USE_ENV_PROXY=1`. Change it for a national cloud, e.g. `https://graph.microsoft.us`. Replaces `AZURE_GRAPH_URI`, still read when this one is not set.
AZURE_AUTHORITY_URI string added in version 7.0.4	Valor per defecte: https://login.microsoftonline.com	Microsoft Entra ID sign-in authority (deprecated) a valid base URI without slash on the end Deprecated: use `ENTRA_AUTHORITY_URI` ; removed in 8.0. Still read when `ENTRA_AUTHORITY_URI` is not set, with a warning in the log at start ; when both are set, `ENTRA_AUTHORITY_URI` wins.
AZURE_GRAPH_URI string added in version 4.0.3	Valor per defecte: https://graph.microsoft.com	Azure Graph API base URI (deprecated) a valid base URI without slash on the end Deprecated: use `ENTRA_GRAPH_URI` ; removed in 8.0. Still read when `ENTRA_GRAPH_URI` is not set, with a warning in the log at start ; when both are set, `ENTRA_GRAPH_URI` wins.
REST_ALLOWED_HOSTS string added in version 6.0.0	Valor per defecte:	Allowed hosts for REST expressions Comma-separated list of hostnames and/or CIDR ranges that REST helper functions (`fn.fnRestBasic`, `fn.fnRestAdvanced`, `fn.fnRestJwt`, `fn.fnRestJwtSecure`) are allowed to call. When set, only these destinations are allowed; everything else is blocked. When unset, no allow-list is applied (default behaviour, all hosts allowed). Hostnames are matched case-insensitively against the URL host; CIDRs are matched against the IPs that the host resolves to (so an entry like `10.0.0.0/8` blocks all private targets in that range regardless of which DNS name was used). Example: `REST_ALLOWED_HOSTS=api.example.com,partner.api.com,10.20.0.0/16` Caveat: this only protects the AnsibleForms Node.js process. Ansible playbooks run on the host directly and bypass this guard.
REST_DENIED_HOSTS string added in version 6.0.0	Valor per defecte:	Blocked hosts for REST expressions Comma-separated list of hostnames and/or CIDR ranges that REST helper functions (`fn.fnRestBasic`, `fn.fnRestAdvanced`, `fn.fnRestJwt`, `fn.fnRestJwtSecure`) must never call. Wins over `REST_ALLOWED_HOSTS`. Useful to lock down dangerous targets like cloud metadata services or your internal admin UIs: `REST_DENIED_HOSTS=169.254.169.254,127.0.0.0/8,internal-secret.example` Hostnames are matched case-insensitively against the URL host; CIDRs are matched against the IPs that the host resolves to. Caveat: this only protects the AnsibleForms Node.js process. Ansible playbooks run on the host directly and bypass this guard.
REST_TIMEOUT_SECONDS number added in version 7.3.0	Valor per defecte: 60	REST call timeout (seconds) How long the REST helper functions (`fn.fnRestBasic`, `fn.fnRestAdvanced`, `fn.fnRestJwt`, `fn.fnRestJwtSecure`) wait for the remote endpoint before the call fails with a timeout error. Without a limit, an endpoint that never answers kept the request and the form field waiting forever. A value that is not a number above 0 falls back to the default. Takes effect when saved.
REST_IGNORE_CERTS boolean added in version 7.3.0	Valor per defecte: 0	Ignore REST certificates 0, 1 Whether the REST helper functions (`fn.fnRestBasic`, `fn.fnRestAdvanced`, `fn.fnRestJwt`, `fn.fnRestJwtSecure`) skip the TLS certificate check of the endpoint they call. Until 7.3.0 they never checked it, so a man in the middle could read their tokens and answers. They now check it like every other connection: trust a private CA with NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS, or set this to 1 only for endpoints with a self-signed certificate. Takes effect when saved.
JQ_TIMEOUT_SECONDS number added in version 7.3.0	Valor per defecte: 30	jq timeout (seconds) How long a jq filter may run before the jq process is killed: `fn.fnJq`, the jq expression of the REST, file and credential functions, and the jq expression of database queries. A runaway filter (for example a recursive definition that never ends) used to keep a jq process spinning forever. jq output is also capped at 64 MB. A value that is not a number above 0 falls back to the default. Takes effect when saved.
EXPRESSION_SANITIZER string added in version 6.3.0	Opcions: off paranoid strict (per defecte) legacy	Server expression sanitizer off, paranoid, strict Server expressions (fields of type `expression` without `runLocal`) are evaluated on the server by any authenticated user. The sanitizer refuses anything that is not a call to an `fn.` or `fnc.` function. `off`: every server expression is refused, use `runLocal` instead. `paranoid`: only direct `fn.`/`fnc.` calls. `fn.fnTime().format('YYYY')` is refused. `strict` (default): `fn.`/`fnc.` calls, and methods on their result. `legacy`: the rules of 6.2.1 and earlier, where anything is allowed once the expression starts with `fn.`. This allows remote code execution for every authenticated user. It exists only as a temporary escape hatch after an upgrade, can only be set in the real environment (docker-compose, kubernetes), shows as a warning on the status page, and logs every expression the strict rules would refuse. An unknown value falls back to `strict`.
API_TOKEN_MAX_DAYS number added in version 7.0.0	Valor per defecte: 90	API token maximum life (days) a positive integer A role with the `allowApiTokens` option may log in with `?expiryDays=<n>` and get an access token that lives n days, for scripts and integrations. It lives this many days at most: a longer request is cut to it. A role with `extendedTokenExpiration` may also ask `?expiryDays=never` for a token that never expires. Like every token, it ends sooner when its user changes their password (or an admin sets it), when it is revoked, or when its session logs out. Profile > API token makes one for any account. A local or LDAP user confirms their password ; a Microsoft Entra ID or OIDC user has none here, so the token is made from their session, which must have signed in at most 10 minutes before (the page sends them through the sign-in again otherwise). An API token cannot make another. Each token is listed on the profile and on the user’s page in Settings > Users (made, expires, last used), where the user or an admin revokes it. Blocking a user ends their tokens too. A token follows the roles of its user as they are now, within 30 seconds: the roles in the config, a local user’s groups as an admin sets them, an LDAP or SSO user’s groups as their last sign-in recorded them (a group change in the directory or identity provider reaches the token when they sign in again).
PASSWORD_MIN_LENGTH number added in version 7.0.0	Valor per defecte: 8	Minimum password length 0 or a positive integer A local password set through the application - a new user, an admin setting it, a user changing their own - needs at least this many characters, and is neither the username nor the public default password. Length rather than composition rules: a long passphrase is strong and easy to remember. ADMIN_PASSWORD at the first start is not checked. Applied without a restart.
CONTENT_SECURITY_POLICY number added in version 7.0.0	Valor per defecte: 1	Enforce the Content-Security-Policy 0, 1 The web app is served with a Content-Security-Policy: scripts from the app itself only, so a script injected into a page does not run, and no other site may frame it. It allows what the app needs: local form expressions (evaluated in the browser), inline styles, images from any url (form and category images), and the code editor’s workers. With 0 it is sent as Content-Security-Policy-Report-Only: the browser’s console says what it would block, and nothing is blocked - for a setup that cannot work with it yet, a reverse proxy that injects its own script for example.
AUTH_RATE_LIMIT number added in version 7.0.0	Valor per defecte: 120	Sign-in requests a minute from one address 0 or a positive integer A ceiling on the authentication endpoints - the login, the logout, the token refresh and the single sign-on callbacks - per client address and per app node: above it they answer 429 before any password or token is looked at. Generous, so that a person or a script never reaches it ; LOGIN_MAX_FAILURES is what stops a password from being guessed. Behind a reverse proxy, set TRUST_PROXY so the address is the client’s. Applied without a restart.
LOGIN_MAX_FAILURES number added in version 7.0.0	Valor per defecte: 5	Failed sign-ins before an account locks 0 or a positive integer After this many failed logins in a row, an account (local or LDAP) is locked for LOGIN_LOCKOUT_MINUTES: every attempt is refused with status 429 before any password is checked, whether the account exists or not. A successful login clears the count, and so does an admin setting the user’s password. Counted in the database, so every app node sees the same attempts. 0 turns the lockout off. Applied without a restart.
LOGIN_MAX_FAILURES_PER_IP number added in version 7.0.0	Valor per defecte: 30	Failed sign-ins from one address before it is held back 0 or a positive integer One address trying many accounts: after this many failed logins within LOGIN_LOCKOUT_MINUTES, every login from it is refused with status 429 until that window ends. Behind a reverse proxy, set TRUST_PROXY so the address is the client’s and not the proxy’s. 0 turns it off. Applied without a restart.
LOGIN_LOCKOUT_MINUTES number added in version 7.0.0	Valor per defecte: 15	Account lockout (minutes) 0 or a positive integer How long an account stays locked after LOGIN_MAX_FAILURES failed logins, and the window in which the failures of an account and of an address are counted. 0 turns the lockout and the per-address limit off. Applied without a restart.
ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET string Secret	Valor per defecte: * NOT REVEALED *	Access token secret a hard secret string AnsibleForm uses Basic Authentication as authentication mechanism. Once authenticated, the client uses a JWT (Json Web Token) for authorization (Bearer authorization header). This token is stored on the client side (i.e. browser cookie) and is signed with a secret key. To keep the communication between client and server safe, we strongly recommend you to set this secret. Not set: each start generates a random secret, so a restart ends every session and everyone logs in again. An app node (`AF_ROLE=app`) refuses to start without it: set the same value on every app node.
ACCESS_TOKEN_EXPIRATION string	Valor per defecte: 30m	Access token expiration a valid time indication A JWT (Json Web Token) is only valid for a certain amount of time. If someone would be able to intercept a communication packet and see the token, it would only be valid for a short time. After this short time, the client must refresh his access token using his refresh token.
ACCESS_TOKEN_REFRESH_EXPIRATION string	Valor per defecte: 24h	Refresh token expiration a valid time indication Once the access token is expired, and the client tries to connect to the server, the client hits a 401 error (unauthorized). The client application captures this error, and calls the refresh API with its refresh token. If the refresh token is valid, the client gets a new set of access and refresh tokens and retries the last unauthorized api call with the renew access token. With this mechanism, the client can keep the user-connection open for a long time and avoid a sudden logout during a save action. If the client has not connected back to the server during the expiration time of the refresh token, the client is logged of and authentication is required again.
ACCESS_TOKEN_ISSUER string added in version 5.0.8	Valor per defecte: ansibleforms	Access token issuer a valid issuer string The issuer of the access token is the name of the application that issues the token. This is used to verify the token on the server side. Also reverse proxies can be picky about the issuer being present.
ENCRYPTION_SECRET string Secret	Valor per defecte: * NOT REVEALED *	Encryption secret a strong encryption string AnsibleForms encrypts the passwords and tokens it stores in the database with this secret. Set your own : without it they are encrypted with a default key that is public in the source code. The secret must be 32 characters long ; a shorter one is extended and a longer one cut. Setting it, or changing it, re-encrypts every stored secret with it on the next start, in one transaction, so none is lost : from the default key the first time, from ENCRYPTION_SECRET_PREVIOUS after that. Set the same value on every app node, the worker and every RTE that registers itself.
ENCRYPTION_SECRET_PREVIOUS string Secret added in version 7.3.0	Valor per defecte:	Previous encryption secret the previous ENCRYPTION_SECRET When ENCRYPTION_SECRET changes from a key of your own to another, set this to the old one for one start : every stored secret is re-encrypted from it to the new ENCRYPTION_SECRET, then it is not used and can be removed. Not needed when ENCRYPTION_SECRET is set for the first time (the stored secrets are then re-encrypted from the default key). When the stored secrets were encrypted with a key that is neither, nothing is changed and the worker refuses to start, saying in the log which variable to set.
REGEX_FILTER_JOB_OUTPUT string	Valor per defecte: \[low\]	Job output filter (regex) an escaped regular expression Sometime, the job output is flooded with meaningless output, such as ‘Gathering Facts’, or ‘Includes’. You filter out these by add a piece of string in the taskname, i.e. `[low]` and then used regex `\\[low\\]` to hide this information. The output has a button `Apply filter` for the filtering to take effect.
MASK_EXTRAVARS_REGEX string	Valor per defecte: password\|secret\|token	Extravars to mask (regex) an escaped regular expression When you have sensitive extravars, such as passwords, tokens, keys, credentials, you do not want these to be shown in clear text in the extravars section of a job. By setting this regex, any extravar key matching this regex will have its value masked with `******`. Note the regex will be case insensitive. Since 6.4.1** the value of every `password` field of the form is masked as well, whatever its key or model path - in list rows and yaml subforms too. The regex is for the other secrets, the ones that are not password fields.
EXTRAVARS_USER_FIELDS string	Valor per defecte:	User fields in the extravars empty, all, none, or a comma separated list of keys Every job carries the launching user as `ansibleforms_user` in its extravars. With an LDAP or Microsoft Entra ID login that is the user’s full group membership plus every resolved role option, which for a directory user in a hundred groups is a hundred lines of extravars the playbook never reads - stored in the AWX job and in `jobs.extravars`, readable by anyone with access to the job. Leave it empty (the default) and the whole object is sent, exactly as in every release before this one. Set it to a comma separated list of top level keys, for example `username,email,type`, and only those are sent. Set it to `none` and `ansibleforms_user` is not sent at all. `all` is the default said out loud, useful for a form that must override a trimmed global setting. A single form can override this with its `userExtravars` property. The frontend `__user__` object comes from the login token and is not affected, and neither are role checks or the form’s own `roles` list. Note: the FAQ suggests asserting on `ansibleforms_user.groups` inside a playbook as a defence in depth check. If you do that, keep `groups` in the list.
