Unreachable, msg=Authentication Failure

[Luvpreet Singh]

I have just started Ansible today and is facing this early issue.

I have declared ansible_ssh_pass and ansible_ssh_user in the hosts file.

But still this error is coming, Why iis this an issue ?

luvpreet@DHARI-Inspiron-3542:/etc/ansible$ sudo ansible -m ping all
vogo-alpha.cloudapp.net | UNREACHABLE! => {
    "changed": false,
    "msg": "Authentication failure.",
    "unreachable": true
}


What is the cause of this problem ?

Hi,

Did you find any solution for this I am also facing the same issue.

[Dick Visser]

The error clearly states that an Authentication Failure occurred.
The most likely cause is that the username/password combination doesn't work.
