Having difficulties getting my playbook to run successfully using password encrypted by ansible-vault. Running on RHEL 7.9.
$ ansible-playbook --version ansible-playbook 2.9.18 config file = /home/CGE/sa_cge_sm/projects/tavs-patching/ansible.cfg configured module search path = [u'/home/CGE/sa_cge_sm/.ansible/plugins/modules', u'/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules'] ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ansible executable location = /bin/ansible-playbook python version = 2.7.5 (default, Aug 13 2020, 02:51:10) [GCC 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-39)] Created user.yml via ansible-vault: $ ansible-vault create user.yml New Vault password: <password entered> Confirm New Vault password: <password entered> sent into vi, and entered password. Saved file. It appears the encryption is performed properly ]$ cat user.yml $ANSIBLE_VAULT;1.1;AES256 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Possibly user-error here (relatively new to ansible). When I run playbook: $ ansible-playbook redhatpatching.yml -i dfwtesting.yml -l dfwtesting -f 5 -u sa_cge_sm --vault-password-file ./user.yml -k SSH password: [WARNING]: Error in vault password file loading (default): A vault password must be specified to decrypt data ERROR! A vault password must be specified to decrypt data Isn't ansible-vault designed to not require a password to be entered?
