Friends,

Trying to add a RHEL7 host to Windows AD using Ansible-AWX.

Did any body tried this before please share some details.

Please note, I followed the below link and was able to add to AD with a password prompt.

**Wandering how to fetch the credentials from AWX and add to domain**.

regards  
Vinod

I created a customer credential for joining to AD. Another option is create a keytab that can join a computer and transfer that over.

Thanks John, but how did you call the credentials into the yaml file ??

In my scenario i have added domain credentials in AWX “credentials” section . Wandering how to fetch those into yaml script while its running.

Can you share a yaml file that you used for reference.
