Hi there, I have a super basic Ansible script that is meant to just change the admin password using SSH.
---
- name: change admin password for newly deployed Palo Alto firewall
hosts: firewall
collections:
- paloaltonetworks.panos
gather_facts: no
tasks:
- name: Change admin password using SSH
panos_admpwd:
ip_address: '{{ provider.ip_address }}'
newpassword: '{{ provider.new_password }}'
key_filename: '{{ ansible_ssh_private_key_file }}'
register: result
until: not result|failed
retries: 10
delay: 30
- name: panos commit
panos_commit_firewall:
provider: '{{ provider }}'
and for whatever reason, the task just hangs when establishing the connection.
TASK [Change admin password using SSH] **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
task path: /home/dapper/Morannon/Ansible/morannon.yml:9
<xx.xxx.xx.xxx> ESTABLISH SSH CONNECTION FOR USER: admin
<xx.xxx.xx.xxx> SSH: EXEC ssh -vvv -C -o ControlMaster=auto -o ControlPersist=60s -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -o 'IdentityFile="ssh.key"' -o KbdInteractiveAuthentication=no -o PreferredAuthentications=gssapi-with-mic,gssapi-keyex,hostbased,publickey -o PasswordAuthentication=no -o 'User="admin"' -o ConnectTimeout=10 -o ControlPath=/home/dapper/.ansible/cp/52255bf5c1 xxx.xxx.xx.xxx '/bin/sh -c '"'"'echo ~admin && sleep 0'"'"''
I did find an issue on the GitHub where this exact thing was happening, but it was supposedly fixed.
This is my ansible version:
ansible [core 2.11.5]
config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
configured module search path = ['/home/dapper/.ansible/plugins/modules', '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
ansible python module location = /home/dapper/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/ansible
ansible collection location = /home/dapper/.ansible/collections:/usr/share/ansible/collections
executable location = /home/dapper/.local/bin/ansible
python version = 3.8.0 (default, Feb 25 2021, 22:10:10) [GCC 8.4.0]
jinja version = 3.0.1
libyaml = True

Per the reply from MR on https://github.com/PaloAltoNetworks/pan-os-ansible/discussions/272, connection should be local. There is a repo of example playbooks here that might be useful for you: https://github.com/PaloAltoNetworks/ansible-playbooks
