Ansible: how to solve “sudo: a password is required” error? [duplicate]

Answer 1

The main issue is that for ansible task needs the password of 4 servers, so i did export ask sudo password and it worked. It was failing because of the password.

export ANSIBLE_ASK_SUDO_PASS=true

Answer 2

You get an error:

sudo: a password is required

It doesn't mean you can't connect to the target machine it means you need to provide a password to run a command with elevated permissions (or that you can't run a command with elevated permissions altogether).

On the contrary, it means the connection is being established with no problems.

Fix your sudoers configuration on the affected machines.
