I am trying to add to the authorized\_key key\_option the following

`

- name: Deploy user  
authorized\_key:  
user=“user”  
key=“{{user\_key}}”  
key\_options=‘no-pty,permitopen=“localhost:2313”’

`

I get msg: invalid option string: no-pty,permitopen=localhost:10050

Should i craft my string in a different way then the authorized\_key ?

There appears to be too much attempt to validation options given in [https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/library/system/authorized\_key#L214](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/library/system/authorized_key#L214)

Can you please file a bug on github about this so we can take a look at this?

It is probably being done to determine if it should make a change or not, but it seems to not understand everything it needs to understand.

Thanks!
