Max Retries Exceeded - Caused by SSLError(SSLZeroReturnError(6, 'TLS/SSL connection has been closed (EOF)

Hello,

I am having an issue connecting to a windows host through kerberos. I was using ansible 2.9.16 and RHEL 7.9 and had no issues.

As I upgraded to RHEL 9, I upgraded to Ansible-Core 2.13. Winrm, kerberos were all upgraded as well. Nothing on the windows side has changed.

When I run a playbook with win_ping, it errors out saying, Max Retries Exceeded - Caused by SSLError(SSLZeroReturnError(6, ‘TLS/SSL connection has been closed (EOF) (_ssl.c:1129)’)).

Again, nothing was changed on the windows hosts. This also applies if I use credssp or basic auth as well.

openssl version is 3.0.1 and uses tls1.3 to connect to the windows host.

Thank you

Just to let everyone know, the inventory file was looking for the FQDN, not the IP.
