As alluded to above, setting the following variables controls how ansible interacts with remote hosts.
Ssh connection::
ansible_ssh_host
The name of the host to connect to, if different from the alias you wish to give to it.
@ -203,16 +204,38 @@ mentioned::
The default ssh user name to use.
ansible_ssh_pass
The ssh password to use (this is insecure, we strongly recommend using --ask-pass or SSH keys)
ansible_connection
Connection type of the host. Candidates are local, ssh or paramiko. The default is paramiko before Ansible 1.2, and 'smart' afterwards which detects whether usage of 'ssh' would be feasible based on whether ControlPersist is supported.
ansible_ssh_private_key_file
Private key file used by ssh. Useful if using multiple keys and you don't want to use SSH agent.
Privilege escalation (see :doc:`Ansible Privilege Escalation<become>` for further details). Since Ansible 1.9 you should use *ansible_become*::
ansible_become
Equivalent to ansible_sudo or ansible_su, allows to force privilege escalation
ansible_become_method
Allows to set privilege escalation method
ansible_become_user
Equivalent to ansible_sudo_user or ansible_su_user, allows to set the user you become through privilege escalation
ansible_become_pass
Equivalent to ansible_sudo_pass or ansible_su_pass, allows you to set the privilege escalation password
ansible_sudo
The boolean to decide if sudo should be used for this host. Defaults to false.
ansible_sudo_user
Run operations as this user if 'sudo' is enabled.
ansible_sudo_pass
The sudo password to use (this is insecure, we strongly recommend using --ask-sudo-pass)
ansible_sudo_exe (new in version 1.8)
The sudo command path.
ansible_connection
Connection type of the host. Candidates are local, ssh or paramiko. The default is paramiko before Ansible 1.2, and 'smart' afterwards which detects whether usage of 'ssh' would be feasible based on whether ControlPersist is supported.
ansible_ssh_private_key_file
Private key file used by ssh. Useful if using multiple keys and you don't want to use SSH agent.
ansible_su
The boolean to decide if su should be used for this host. Defaults to false.
ansible_su_user
Run operations as this user if 'su' is enabled.
ansible_su_pass
The su password to use (this is insecure, we strongly recommend using --ask-su-pass)
Remote host environnement parameters::
ansible_shell_type
The shell type of the target system. Commands are formatted using 'sh'-style syntax by default. Setting this to 'csh' or 'fish' will cause commands executed on target systems to follow those shell's syntax instead.
