Hi Team,

Is there any way to get the output of Karaf through ansible::

If i am executing the below command::-

# echo encrypt-text abcd | ./client ( I am getting the below output )

1249 [sshd-SshClient[6d78f375]-nio2-thread-2] WARN org.apache.sshd.client.keyverifier.AcceptAllServerKeyVerifier - Server at [/0.0.0.0:8101, DSA, 06:33:3e:47:5a:e5:bd:c2:f0:cf:74:22:e9:86:b6:c6] presented unverified {} key: {}

Apache Karaf (3.0.2)

Hit ‘’ for a list of available commands  
and ‘[cmd] --help’ for help on a specific command.  
Hit ‘system:shutdown’ to shutdown Karaf.  
Hit ‘’ or type ‘logout’ to disconnect shell from current session.

admin@root()\> encrypt-text abcd  
Encrypted value : DpuQ5swhCfVv0PgBC/z3PA==  
admin@root()\>

The value i am looking for is DpuQ5swhCfVv0PgBC/z3PA==

I am writing my playbook as :-

- name: encrypting the password from karaf  
shell: “echo encrypt-text abcd | ./client”  
register: password\_output

- debug: var=password\_output.stdout

But it is throwing error, can anyone help me in getting resolved?
