Hello. I am running AWX with ansible 2.9.18. I have it working with several hosts running Linux without issue. I wanted to test it with a Windows host.
Windows host is Windows Pro x64 10.0.19044. I have OpenSSH installed on it and can SSH into it from the ansible host with keys. I also updated to Powershell 7 and .Net has 4.5 is installed and updated.
The user, for the purposes of testing, is an Administrator user. The error logs indicate an SSH connection issue but I am not sure why. On the Windows 10 side, the SSH logs show the user connects and then the user disconnects. The server doesn’t close the session.
The part of the log (below) that stands out to me is:
debug3: /etc/ssh/ssh_config.d/05-redhat.conf line 3: not matched ‘final’
I am not sure what it is trying to match with this.
Would someone be able to point me in the right direction to resolve this? I appreciate it.
Here are the logs from the test playbook on AWX:
