AUTOMATE A PROCESS TO REMOTE SERVER WITHOUT SSH KEY PAIR

[ranjithks]

Hi Guys,

I need to automate a process from my server to remote server without pairing the ssh keys. Is there any possibilities. I tired with ansible but no use. Please suggest any ideas.

Thanks in advance.

You can use Ansible without using ssh-keypairs but you will make it harder on yourself because you will have to type in the password of the user on the remote system(s) each time you are running your playbook.

yes but what i am asking is there any other way to do this one ? Like can we use any other protocols apart from SSH ?

You can use one of the other configuration management tools. I know puppet works by running a puppet-agent on each of the clients and then the puppet master connects to the port that the agent is running on, I don't know about the others.
