Issue with 2019 server and Ansible

We have:

Tower 3.6.4
Ansible 2.9.6

Server is 2019, time is correct, getting this error:

• Server: xxxxxxxx {‘msg’: u’kerberos: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='xxxxxxl', port=5986): Max retries exceeded with url: /wsman (Caused by SSLError(SSLError(“bad handshake: SysCallError(104, 'ECONNRESET')”,),)), ssl: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='xxxxxxxxx', port=5986): Max retries exceeded with url: /wsman (Caused by SSLError(SSLError(“bad handshake: SysCallError(104, 'ECONNRESET')”,),))', ‘unreachable’: True, ‘changed’: False}

I took out server name put x’s in it.

New to Ansible, please give details if you have time, what I can try.

Thanks!

This list is for the AWX project. Your question is not really related, itt is purely an Ansible question.

However, the first thing I would check is if you have a certificate problem. Either your certificate is not from a trusted CA, like a self-signed cert., or the name you used to reach the server does not match any of the names in the certificate. If it is an untrusted CA, a self-signed or expired certificate, you could set the variable "ansible_winrm_server_cert_validation: ignore" as a workaround. If that works, you can be sure it is a certificate problem. This may not matter unless you're a stickler about certificates or have compliance policies to live up to.

In Ansible documentation, there is a section that may help: [HTTPS Certificate Validation](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/windows_winrm.html#https-certificate-validation)

Best of luck.

thank you and sorry for spamming wrong group. have a great day.
