Clarification required about vault_checksum_file_url variable content for Enterprise Install

[planetrobbie]

While deploying an Enterprise Vault/Consul Cluster for a customer, I discovered the following issue.

While setting up vault_checksum_file_url to the location where to find the Enterprise checksum for Vault Enterprise binary, which by default is set to https://releases.hashicorp.com/vault/{{ vault_version }}/vault_{{ vault_version}}_SHA256SUMS for OSS which is the file itself. I encountered a failure scenario because in install_enterprise.yml Ansible add at the end of this URL another {{ vault_enterprise_shasums }} value.

So I ended up having something like this, which is obviously failing :/

https://FQDN/.../vault/ent/1.1.0/vault-enterprise_1.1.0%2Bent_SHA256SUMS/vault-enterprise_1.1.0%2Bent_SHA256SUMS

So I presume we should better document what is expected in that variable, I mean not the location of the SHASUM but the first part of the URL, or update Ansible code to align with the way it works for Open Source. Just my 2 cents.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for reporting this!

Sorry that you've had trouble with it, but I'll try to fix up the documentation to better describe what's going on wit that variable.
