I found a way to generate key pair using RSA on Ansible control machine, copied the public key to the client's /.ssh/authorized_keys. When I run a playbook, it prompts me for the password I used to protect the private key. I followed the SSH Agent Forwarding with Ansible notes by configuring the ssh_args parameter in the /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg file and the SSH_AUTH_SOCK Defaults parameter in the /etc/sudoers file of the client; but I'm still getting prompted with the password for private key on playbook run. What's the procedure to make the playbook run passwordless? - Thanks, Lorenzo
