I am trying to use the network credentials in Ansible Tower however it doesn’t seem to work. I am using variable ANSIBLE\_NET\_USERNAME and ANSIBLE\_NET\_PASSWORD however they don’t exist when I run my template.

playbook.yaml

You are using the Juniper modules distributed from Galaxy which are not compatible with Tower today. The only modules that work with Tower credentials are the Junos modules in core.

That was the problem. I changed the module to junos\_facts which was already included with Ansible Tower.
