Ansible Tower plugin deployment URL change in Continuous Delivery Director

Products

• Continuous Delivery Director SAAS

Issue/Introduction

After updating an Ansible Tower instance (Automation Controller), deployment URLs hardcoded in the plugin output point to invalid hostnames.

For example, the URL may point to https://example.com/#/jobs/playbook/ instead of the new valid endpoint.

Cause

The base URL for the Ansible Tower plugin is defined by a specific configuration property that does not automatically update when the server hostname changes.

Resolution

To update the deployment URL for the Ansible Tower plugin, modify the home folder base URL property:

1. Locate the configuration properties for the CDD Ansible Tower plugin.
2. Update the following property with the correct hostname: cdd.plugins.ansibletower.home_folder_base_url
3. Ensure the URL matches the new environment (e.g., https://ansible.example.com).
