Ansible windows fails with “Server not found in Kerberos database”

问题

I am testing ansible (developer build) to connect to a windows machine.

ansible 2.0.0 (devel d1b98ec776)

The following command fails

ansible inh-jnambood-dt.india.mentorg.com -m win_ping -vvvv

Error is as below

bash-4.1$ ansible inh-jnambood-dt.india.mentorg.com -m win_ping -vvvv
Using /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg as config file
Loaded callback minimal of type stdout, v2.0
<inh-jnambood-dt.india.mentorg.com> ESTABLISH WINRM CONNECTION FOR USER: jnambood@MGC.MENTORG.COM on PORT 5985 TO inh-jnambood-dt.india.mentorg.com
inh-jnambood-dt.india.mentorg.com | FAILED! => {
    "failed": true,
    "msg": "ERROR! kerberos: (('Unspecified GSS failure.  Minor code may provide more information', 851968), ('Server not found in Kerberos database', -1765328377)), plaintext: 401 Unauthorized."

jnambood is my user id MGC.MENTORG.COM is the domain

Clearly there is some step I missed. What should I do to fix this error?

回答1:

That usually means that the Linux host where you're running kinit is not joined to the domain (ie, it doesn't have a properly configured computer account in the domain). The existing docs unhelpfully omit that requirement...

回答2:

I've also seen this occur where the FQDN of the the host is not entered in both the command and the ansible hosts file.

Try something like: inh-jnambood-dt.mcg.mentorg.com
