Hi,

It was very painful, but I think that I've been able to enable port 5986 
for SSL.  I had to:

- Create a self-signed cert for the Ansible node machine using makecert.exe 
from the .NET 3.5 SDK for Windows
- Enable the WinRM listener
- Open incoming port # 5986 on the firewall

Now, using "netstat -an" I can see 5986 listening and I can "openssl 
s_client" to port 5986 from the Ansible server.

If I put "administrator" as the username in the group_var/windows.yml, and 
port 5986, and then do ansible:

[root@centos65 ansible_test]# ansible windows -i host -m win_ping
ansible1.domain2.whatever.com | success >> {
    "changed": false,
    "ping": "pong"
}


However, if I change the username in windows.yml to <domain>\administrator, 
and do "ansible windows -i host -m win_ping" it fails with a 401 error (not 
authorized).


[root@centos65 ansible_test]# ansible windows -i host -m win_ping -vvvv
<ansible1.domain2.whatever.com> ESTABLISH WINRM CONNECTION FOR USER: 
domain2\administrator on PORT 5986 TO ansible1.domain2.whatever.com
<ansible1.domain2.whatever.com> WINRM CONNECT: transport=plaintext 
endpoint=https://ansible1.domain2.whatever.com:5986/wsman
<ansible1.domain2.whatever.com> WINRM CONNECTION ERROR: 401 Unauthorized. 
basic auth failed
ansible1.domain2.whatever.com | FAILED => 401 Unauthorized. basic auth 
failed
[root@centos65 ansible_test]#







I'm not sure where to go from here.  I mean 5986 seems to be working, and 
is SSL-enabled, so shouldn't the authentication work now?

Jim
