Run 1 playbok on multiple hosts with different passwords

[new_ansible]

Hello,

I  am trying to run ansible  playbook  on mutiple hosts  with  different  passwords.

I tried this:

ansible-playbook -i  hosts test2.yml --extra-vars "ansible_user=root ansible_password=dfth   ansible_password=yuij"

But it  connects  only one host  and  gives  authentication issue  for  another.

PLAY [Hello World!] ****************************************************************************************************************************************************

TASK [Hello World!] ****************************************************************************************************************************************************
changed: [172.20.24.xx]
fatal: [10.1.242.163]: UNREACHABLE! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Authentication failure.", "unreachable": true}
        to retry, use: --limit @/root/test/test2.retry

PLAY RECAP *************************************************************************************************************************************************************
10.1.242.xx               : ok=0    changed=0    unreachable=1    failed=0
172.20.24.xx              : ok=1    changed=1    unreachable=0    failed=0

[root@vuhplabspawx001 test]#

Please help  me to accomplish this, I  am new to ansible. :) Your prompt response is  highly appreciated

Thanks in advance.

In your hosts file, you could define the SSH password for each host like:

[servers]
192.168.1.1 ansible_connection=ssh ansible_ssh_user=user1 ansible_ssh_pass=pass1
192.168.1.2 ansible_connection=ssh ansible_ssh_user=user1 ansible_ssh_pass=pass2

I've not tested this as I haven't used password authentication in years, but it should work.

Hope this helps.
