I give the end user to either provide username i.e dest\_user for which ssh-keys is already setup on Linux for all destination hosts i.e dest\_host.

Below is how i setup dynamic inventory for passwordless user

- add\_host:name: “{{ item }}”  
groups: dest\_nodes  
ansible\_user: “{{ dest\_user }}”  
with\_items: “{{ dest\_host.split() }}”  
when: dest\_user != “”

All good. The second scenario is when the user does not provide any dest\_user then his SSO username (i get this from thier Jenkins login) and password i.e dest\_pass which he enters manually should be used for all hosts in the dynamic inventory.

How can i construct dest\_nodes group to accomodate both username for passwordless login and both username-password?
