Hi everyone,

I’ve an issue with the hpe module comware 7. I’m trying to use it to establish netconf connection with equipments but unfortunately I obtained error message :

fatal: [LAB]: UNREACHABLE! =\> {  
“changed”: false,  
“msg”: “Authentication or permission failure. In some cases, you may have been able to authenticate and did not have permissions on the target directory. Consider changing the remote tmp path in ansible.cfg to a path rooted in "/tmp".

I changed the ansible.cfg remote\_tmp field by $HOME/.ansible/tmp  
I used the CentOS 7 linux distribution.

Please help me to solve it.

Regards.
