Description Dan Radez 2018-08-28 12:32:48 UTC

Another authentication option for networking-ansible to connect to switches would be to use ssh keys instead of passwords. Ansible supports this. It's probably just a matter of making sure that we're passing the correct parameters through ansible-runner to take advantage of it.

Comment 1 Dan Radez 2018-08-28 17:55:21 UTC

This currently works by including
ansible_ssh_private_key_file=/path/to/ansible-ssh
instead of ansible_password
