Hi All, As I noted in a previously closed issue <https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/14710#issuecomment-291744396>, it's not clear to me where `ansible_winrm_server_cert_validation` will be respected in group_vars and host_vars. In addition, I'm unsure how to deal with the situation of dynamic inventory, such as in Ansible Tower. Here's my GitHub question repeated for convenience:
---- I feel terrible asking this, given the amount of traffic on this thread, but I'm wondering if a change to ansible_winrm_server_cert_validation is still expected for Ansible 2.3. As far as I can tell, it still must be set in the inventory file, if the desired behavior is : ansible_winrm_server_cert_validation=ignore Just as you noted a while ago <https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/14710#issuecomment-190474564>, placement in a playbook will not be respected. For instance : - name: Debug playbook hosts: all vars: - ansible_connection: winrm - ansible_winrm_server_cert_validation: ignore - ansible_user: user - ansible_password: password - ansible_port: 5986 - ansible_winrm_transport: ntlm tasks: - name: "Print a sanity check (message)" debug: msg="Running debug playbook" Tested using `ansible 2.2.1.0` and `pywinrm==0.2.2`. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
