Can you update the docs too for these latest changes? https://submitty.org/sysadmin/installation/ansible I'm at least assuming the below section has changes?

Why is this Change Important & Necessary?
The install process has changed slightly since the ansible scripts were added, and the initial scripts weren't created with SSL in mind. Also, the certificate and key files were hardcoded, so if you had different locations, you had to manually go change it.
What is the New Behavior?
The main change is adding a variable for the SSL certificate and key files, allowing for sysadmins to create the full Submitty instance without having to manually change the SSL certificate path.
The defaults.yml file is re-arranged to match more with the order of the questions asked by CONFIGURE_SUBMITTY.yml
By default, uses PAM authentication, so a few parameters weren't being used (and messing with the order of CONFIGURE_SUBMITTY), so they have been removed.
What steps should a reviewer take to reproduce or test the bug or new feature?
Automated Testing & Documentation
This is not currently tested with CI, because testing certificates would probably be hard. The default intall (local, no ssl) is tested with CI.
Docs have been updated in Submitty/submitty.github.io#724
