Connect to windows machine with Kerberos

[Narmada Karthika]

I am using kerberos to connect to windows hosts to run playbook, for this I have to kinit username and password everyday if not I need to specify the password on the inventory file which is not great idea. So some one please suggest me how can I save the password details. 

Thanks in advance..

I have done all these I am able to run playbooks on windows machines using kerberos.  I did kinit user...@DOMAIN.COM, but  I need to do this everyday. so followed the docs and implemented ansible-vault which is also working. Using ansible-vault I have to save the password for the enctyption/decryption some where on the server. So my question now is is there anyway ansible decrypts the password while executing the playbook.

sure I will get back to this again, but I see this error all of a sudden

kerberos: the python kerberos library is not installed

I have all necessary components installed

[Narmada Karthika]

pip list |grep -i kerb
pykerberos         1.2.4
requests-kerberos  0.14.0

also I followed one of your previous docs, I see

[teamci-deploy-user@server01 win]$ echo $ANSIBLE_PYTHON
/usr/bin/python2

how can I change this to python 3
