Hi Nagesh,

Where is this vcd_user module coming from? Could you please also paste playbook?

Hi Nagesh,

After digging a bit, I found that these modules are coming from https://github.com/vmware/ansible-module-vcloud-director and are based upon pyvcloud.

Pyvcloud works on Python 3.6 and onwards, you are using Python 2.7. So you need to update to Python3.

Hi Abhijeet,

i have installed python 3.6 but ansible still showing 2.7, how to fix this ?

what i am missing here?

Hi Team,

anyone help me on this issue

what i am missing here?

You missed the part that is called ‘reading the error’. I did do it and it looks like your credentials are wrong.

Either way, this module is a 3rd party module, so if you run into problems best to ask the vendor or their community for support.

10

same password is working, i am sure this is not password issue as i can login VCD using same password, anyway let me double check on vendor support

Thanks
