I have OpenSSH configured on a Windows 2012 server and I can establish an SSH connection to it from Centos 7, but when I run the command:
sudo ansible windows -m win_ping I get: ansible 2.9.2 config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg configured module search path = [u'/root/.ansible/plugins/modules', u'/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules'] ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ansible executable location = /bin/ansible python version = 2.7.5 (default, Aug 7 2019, 00:51:29) [GCC 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-39)] Using /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg as config file host_list declined parsing /etc/ansible/hosts as it did not pass its verify_file() method script declined parsing /etc/ansible/hosts as it did not pass its verify_file() method auto declined parsing /etc/ansible/hosts as it did not pass its verify_file() method Parsed /etc/ansible/hosts inventory source with ini plugin META: ran handlers <192.168.60.144> ESTABLISH SSH CONNECTION FOR USER: xxxxxx <192.168.60.144> SSH: EXEC ssh -C -o ControlMaster=auto -o ControlPersist=60s -o KbdInteractiveAuthentication=no -o PreferredAuthentications=gssapi-with-mic,gssapi-keyex,hostbased,publickey -o PasswordAuthentication=no -o 'User="xxxxxx"' -o ConnectTimeout=10 -o ControlPath=/root/.ansible/cp/b3c4c426f9 192.168.60.144 '/bin/sh -c '"'"'echo ~xxxxxx && sleep 0'"'"'' <192.168.60.144> (255, '', '*Permission denied * (publickey,password,keyboard-interactive).\r\n') 192.168.60.144 | UNREACHABLE! => { "changed": false, "msg": "Failed to connect to the host via ssh: Permission denied (publickey,password,keyboard-interactive).", "unreachable": true } -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
