Hello,

I’m using ansible for managing Windows server in AD environment by winrm. From command every think work fine :

[win]  
[srv01.domain.com](http://srv01.domain.com)  
[srv02.domain.com](http://srv02.domain.com)  
[win:vars]  
[ansible\_user=admusr@DOMAIN.COM](mailto:ansible_user=admusr@DOMAIN.COM)  
ansible\_password=xxxxxxx  
ansible\_port=5986  
ansible\_connection=winrm  
ansible\_winrm\_server\_cert\_validation=ignore

I have setup krb5.conf file including default realm and everything works fine.

When i tried to use AWX gui by using same setup and credentials I’m getting this error :

**[srv01.domain.com](http://srv01.domain.com) | UNREACHABLE! =\> {**

**“changed”: false,**

**“msg”: “kerberos: authGSSClientStep() failed: ((‘Unspecified GSS failure. Minor code may provide more information’, 851968), (‘Configuration file does not specify default realm’, -1765328160)), plaintext: the specified credentials were rejected by the server”,**

10  
**“unreachable”: true**

11  
**}**

Please can you advice me ?
