Hi there,

Would anyone happen to know why Ansible tries to connect to a remote host (CentOS 7) using 'root' during Galaxy role installation?

My playbook has been configured to connect to the remote host using a different user account via SSH, however, the role installation is not honoring this for some reason and continues to use root. The remote host has had SSH root login disabled for security reasons and setting various galaxy user/privsep/become/remote user variables in the group_vars has not had any effect.

TASK [galaxyproject.galaxy : Create galaxy_root] *

fatal: [server_name]: UNREACHABLE! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Invalid/incorrect password: Permission denied, please try again.\r\nPermission denied, please try again.\r\nroot@server_name: Permission denied (publickey,password).", "unreachable": true}

Thanks,

Sandra
