Using Certificate Authentication for Connecting Ansible Automation Platform (AAP) to Windows Servers via WinRM

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

  • When attempting to connect from Ansible Automation Platform (AAP) to a Windows server using the WinRM protocol, the user wants to avoid storing the Windows server user password in the AAP variables.

  • I would like to user passwordless authentication with certification for windows automation.

Environment

  • Ansible Automation Platform (AAP)

  • Windows Server with WinRM enabled

  • Certificate-based authentication configured on the Windows Server
