There are numerous scenarios that can cause an authentication problem, such as;
- The credentials you are using are actually incorrect, or you haven't specified the password in Ansible correctly - The account is disabled or locked on the Windows host - If using Basic auth (you are), you need to enable Basic auth on the server, "Set-Item -Path WSMan:\localhost\Service\Auth\Basic -Value $true" - The account does not have rights to log on through the network, https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/security-policy-settings/access-this-computer-from-the-network - The account is not part of the local Administrators group, or if a non admin account you haven't given it permission - You are using a domain account over Basic auth, use Kerberos (preferably) or NTLM/CredSSP - You are using Basic auth over HTTP, this is not encrypted and Windows will reject the process (I see this isn't your case as you are running over HTTPS) - The LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy is not set to 1 (only for local admin accounts that is not the BUILTIN\Administrator account), https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/951016/description-of-user-account-control-and-remote-restrictions-in-windows Thanks Jordan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
