Question

Hi Guys,

I am trying to install some Softwares in my Managed nodes using Ansible, but it is showing me the below error.

[root@localhost ~]# ansible all -m package -a "name=httpd state=present"
192.168.0.179 | UNREACHABLE! => {
    "changed": false,
    "msg": "Failed to connect to the host via ssh: root@192.168.0.179: Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,password).",
    "unreachable": true
}

Hi@akhtar,

You need to pass the username and password for every managed node in the inventory file as shown below.

192.168.0.179   ansible_ssh_user=root   ansible_ssh_pass=redhat

Now try once it will work.
