authorized_key module with delegate_to

Hi,

In my playbook I copy the ssh public key to my local ansible master.

  • name: fetch pub key from server
    fetch: src=/home/user/.ssh/id_rsa.pub dest=/tmp/keys/{{ inventory_hostname_short }}_id_rsa.pub flat=yes

Next I use authorized_key module to place it in authorized keys of another user on the server.

  • name: ensure public key is authorized_keys on local host
    authorized_key: user=user2
    key=“{{ lookup(‘file’, ‘/tmp/keys/{{ inventory_hostname_short }}_id_rsa.pub’) }}”

The issue I’m having is that the next task is to copy the public key to the authorized keys of the backup server using “delegate_to”

  • name: ensure public key is authorized_keys on backup server

authorized_key: user=user2
key=“{{ lookup(‘file’, ‘/tmp/keys/{{ inventory_hostname_short }}_id_rsa.pub’) }}”
delegate_to: backup_server

This use to work, but no longer does as it seems to ignore the delegate_to and copies to authorized to server again.

Using ansible 2.0.1.0
