Hi! Im trying to get ansible to talk to our local spacewalk server but its not working.

If I use the epl repo it works fine with this block

‘’‘’

# - name: Add repository

# yum\_repository:

# name: epel

# description: EPEL YUM repo

# baseurl: [https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/$releasever/$basearch/](https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/$releasever/$basearch/)

‘’‘’

But when I try to manage via spacewalk directly it fails. The password and user are correct.

- rhn\_channel:  
name: atlantic-rh-el6-x86\_64  
sysname: [spacewalk.ccrt.us](http://spacewalk.ccrt.us)  
url: [https://spacewalk.ccrt.us/rhn/api](https://spacewalk.ccrt.us/rhn/api)  
user: admin  
password: admin
