Daniel, This is the configuration I have for this server that belongs to the apacheservers group that worked, with the root password explicitly entered in the ansible_ssh_pass parameter. [apacheservers] TestRHEL73tr1 ansible_host=XX.X.XX.XXX ansible_port=22 ansible_user=root ansible_ssh_pass=
I tried to use the vault by creating a .vault_pass file with its content ansible_ssh_pass=value of root password, and then ran ansible-playbook CreateTestfile.yml --vault-password-file /root/.vault_pass, but I got this following error message: Attempted to read "/etc/ansible/hosts" as ini file: /etc/ansible/hosts:16: Expected key=value host variable assignment, got: ansible_ssh_pass Please help on how to properly use the vault concept in securing ansible playbook run.
