Setting ansible_sudo_pass in ansible.cfg?

[Simón Muñoz]

Hi all,

is it possible to set ansible_sudo_pass in /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg to avoid having to enter the sudo pass in a group of local clients? 

Thanks in advance, Simon.

It's not possible in ansible.cfg, but could be set in inventory for all hosts, e.g.

[all]

host1

host2

[all:vars]

ansible_sudo_pass=MakeMeASammich

For a bit more security, you might try something I outlined here:

and here:

It uses the python-keyring module to ask your local password safe.

i think you can set it in the inventory:
[all:vars]
ansible_sudo_pass=
