## Using a vault entry in a task or a jinja template
It is as simple as using any variable :
{{<highlightyaml>}}
- copy:
path: /etc/ssl/private.key
mode: 0400
content: '{{ ssl_key }}'
{{</highlight>}}
## How to specify multiple lines entries
This is actually a yaml question, not a vault one but since I ask myself this frequently in this context here is how to put a multiple lines entry like a private key in vault (for a simple value, just don't use a `|`):
To run a playbook, you will need to pass the `--ask-vault` argument or to export a `ANSIBLE_VAULT_PASSWORD_FILE=/home/julien/.vault_pass.txt` variable (the file needs to contain a single line with your vault password here).
