Unable to use api_user and api_password from Ansible's Proxmox module

[Conacious]

Hi,
I have installed on a debian 10 buster server Proxmox 6.1-8.

I'm trying to run an Ansible script that adds a public key to the proxmox server.

The code, using the Ansible docs:

- proxmox:
    api_user: " {{ proxmox.api_user }}"
    api_password: "{{ proxmox.api_password }}"
    api_host: tfg
    password: "{{ proxmox.api_password }}"
    pubkey: "{{ public_keys.victor_home }}"

I'm using the root@pam user and password for api_user and api_password.

Also tryied to create a new user for the api with:

pvesh create /access/users -userid testuser2@pve

But always got the same error.

"msg": "authorization on proxmox cluster failed with exception: Couldn't authenticate user:

My question is how can I create a proper api_user and api_password to use on my Ansible playbook?

Thank you very much.

I have to add that when I run

 curl -k -d "username=root@pam&password=xxxxxx"  https://xxxxxxxx:8006/api2/json/access/ticket

I got the ticket correctly as a JSON response using the same user and password than before

then likely your ansible playbook does something else. you probably need to turn up debugging/logging on the ansible side (to hopefully see the full request and/or error), and check pveproxy logs for incoming requests while running your playbook.

Thank you for asnwer.

I forgot to add the @pam to the api_user var .


Anyways i'm getting an other error. The proxmox module for Ansible doesn't have debugger mode so I don't have many info.

The access.log of pvproxy shows 2 requests that seem okey:

2a01:4f8:173:159c::2 - - [17/03/2020:12:06:42 +0100] "POST /api2/json/access/ticket HTTP/1.1" 200 677
2a01:4f8:173:159c::2 - root@pam [17/03/2020:12:06:42 +0100] "GET /api2/json/version HTTP/1.1" 200 64

But i'm still getting this error on Ansible:

fatal: [tfg.intelligenia.com]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "authorization on proxmox cluster failed with exception: invalid literal for float(): 6.1-8"}

I'm guessing that it may be a bug on the Ansible's proxmox module.

Yes, I was using an old version of Ansible. Thanks you can close it
