1. Yes. remote_user is already set on ansible.cfg file: # SSH timeout #timeout = 10
# default user to use for playbooks if user is not specified # (/usr/bin/ansible will use current user as default) remote_user = ansible # logging is off by default unless this path is defined # if so defined, consider logrotate log_path = /etc/ansible/ansiout.log 2. ip ssh server authenticate user password is enabled on the remote device. Here is the output: [image: Capture.PNG] 3. I have already tested the vars on the inventory file like you suggested and instead I also tried to define the vars on the playbook itself (all info is in the last 2 messages I posted here) The result was the same for either situation - No existing Session. Anyway since u still think it matters, I have now moved the vars definition to [all:vars] so consider it done. 4. ansible ping works. Here are both results of : - current status with your suggestions about the vars on inventory, remote_user, show ip ssh - ping result [image: Capture.PNG] If ping works it means that the code is ok and its something with authentication but i'm not sure what... everything seems good but still not working.. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
