+## Package: ansible role certreq
+
+This role, certreq, is designed to make it easy for a Linux machine to acquire a certificate signed by a Microsoft Subordinate CA
+
+Its main use is inside a playbook that resembles:
+
+    - hosts: all
+      remote_user: ansible_rdu
+      roles:
+      - certreq
+
+Call the playbook with:
+ansible-playbook -i /etc/ansible/patching/rdu/rdu_patch_list /etc/ansible/configuration/test/certreq.yml -l sw*
+
+The role generates a pkc12 file at /tmp/certnew.pfx with the client cert, ca cert chain, and client private key.
