Why Am I Getting "Bad HTTP response returned from server. Code 500" Error While Connecting to Windows Host via Ansible Tower ?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

I want to use HTTP authentication with NTLM, Kerberos. When we are using Ansible CLI with Kerberos/NTLM authentication over HTTP, we are able to connect to windows nodes but when we try to use it with Ansible Tower, it fails with following error:

WinRMTransportError: (u'http', u'Bad HTTP response returned from server. Code 500')
