team, team not able to connect to ansible remote machines with inventory file entry as ssh_pass

Al West:
Where are you passing your password? You can do it in the inventory:

---
all:
  hosts:
    tiny:
    pi4:
      ansible_user: "al"
      ansible_password: "password"

Check connectivity with ansible ping:

ansible -m ping all -i hosts.yaml
#3

Al West:
should get the following output:

tiny | SUCCESS => {
    "ansible_facts": {
        "discovered_interpreter_python": "/usr/bin/python3"
    },
    "changed": false,
    "ping": "pong"
}
pi4 | SUCCESS => {
    "ansible_facts": {
        "discovered_interpreter_python": "/usr/bin/python3"
    },
    "changed": false,
    "ping": "pong"
}

Prince Sarvaiya:
Hi @E babu,

If we fail to add the host fingerprint in known hosts, we can encounter this.

You can login to server from the controller, so it gets added in know host.

You can edit
> /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg/
and uncomment
> host key checking = False

“changed”: false,
“msg”: “Failed to connect to the host via ssh: [email protected]: Permission denied (publickey).”,
“unreachable”: true

E babu:
@Prince Sarvaiya; tried that option getting “msg”: “Failed to connect to the host via ssh: [email protected]: Permission denied (publickey).”,

#8

E babu:
could you please suggest

#9

Al West:
either you are using the wrong ssh public key to access the server, or you are using the wrong user.

#10

E babu:

Al West:
