Hy,

Thanks for your answer,  
I look permission of authorized\_keys but i use user wildfly of /home/wildfly/.ssh/authorized\_keys  
So the problem is not if there is permission or not ??

I use :

become\_user: wildfly

Thanks for your help !!

Have you checked permissions on /home/wildfly/.ssh/ too? That needs to be 700 (rwx) – see eg below:

[root@]# ls -ld /home/wildfly/.ssh

drwx------. 2 wildfly wildfly 4096 Jun 7 14:26 /home/ wildfly /.ssh

[root@]#

Hy,

I check it and all is ok but not works… When i changed permission 777 it’s works.

I thinks that it’s problem of user use ? but i have the well user … with this command:

become\_user: wildfly

Thinks,

What task are you trying to perform eventually? If it’s something like adding a new package, you may need to connect with the normal wildfly user first and then become root. If so, something like similar might be more appropriate:

**- name: Test**

**hosts: all**

**remote\_user:**  **wildfly**

**become: yes**

**become\_method: sudo**
