      Elaborating on what John said,

1. Try something like

ansible secured -m setup

Get the above running first. As he said, you may need to do something like

ansible secured  -k -m setup

if you are not using ssh keypairs and/or

ansible secured -u USERNAME -k -m setup

if the login user is not the user you are running as (plus password).

2. If that works,

ansible --become -k -K secured -m shell -a "sudo pwd"

(adding user or not as needed based on results from previous step)

3. If the above works, here is the config file for my testubuntu box:

raub@desktop:~/dev/ansible$ cat host_vars/testubuntu.yml
---
# File: host_vars/testubuntu.yml
#

ansible_host: testubuntu.example.com
ansible_port: 2026
ansible_ssh_private_key_file: keys/ubuntu-test
ansible_user: root

raub@desktop:~/dev/ansible$

Yes, I put a pub key in root so I can avoid needing to use a password.
Whether this make sense or not in your setup is up to you, but the
point is that I know I have those 4 variables defined and where to
check them.
