Hi,

Need help on setting up authentication between ansible and windows by using GoDaddy certificates or any third party instead of Openssl or SelfSigned certificate.

I have tried many ways but its not working. i was able to import certificate to windows but when I was trying to map certificate with local user its not able to find thumbprint of imported certificate. so please someone help me to resolve this.

earlier i have tried with basic and openssl certificate auth and it was working.

any suggestions are well appreciated.

Thanks,  
Karthik.
