Ansible Lab Exercise Guide

1. SSH into the Target Hosts (ubuntu1 and centos2):

- Use the following command on ubuntu-c to SSH into each host:

ssh ansible@<target_host_IP>

- Enter the password when prompted.

2. Generate a New SSH Key Pair on ubuntu-c for Ansible:

- On ubuntu-c, generate a new SSH key pair:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 -f ~/.ssh/ansible_key

- Distribute the public key to ubuntu1, ubuntu2, and centos1:

ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/ansible_key ansible@ubuntu1

ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/ansible_key ansible@ubuntu2

ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/ansible_key ansible@centos1

- Verify the connectivity using:

ssh -i ~/.ssh/ansible_key ansible@ubuntu1

3. Undo the SSH Keypair Connection:

- Remove the authorized keys from each target host:

ssh ansible@ubuntu1 "rm ~/.ssh/authorized_keys"

ssh ansible@ubuntu2 "rm ~/.ssh/authorized_keys"

ssh ansible@centos1 "rm ~/.ssh/authorized_keys"

4. Create a Shell Script Using sshpass to Connect to Target Hosts:

- Install sshpass on ubuntu-c if it is not already installed:

sudo apt-get install sshpass

- Create a shell script, connect_ansible.sh, with the following content:

#!/bin/bash

HOSTS=("ubuntu1" "ubuntu2" "centos1" "centos2")


for host in "${HOSTS[@]}"; do

sshpass -p 'password' ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no ansible@$host "echo 'Connected to

$host'"

done

5. Update the Script to Allow Root User Access:

- Modify connect_ansible.sh to connect as both ansible and root:

#!/bin/bash

HOSTS=("ubuntu1" "ubuntu2" "centos1" "centos2")

for host in "${HOSTS[@]}"; do

sshpass -p 'ansible_password' ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no ansible@$host "echo

'Connected to $host as ansible'"

sshpass -p 'root_password' ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no root@$host "echo 'Connected

to $host as root'"

done

6. Configure sshd on centos1 to Accept Connections Only on Port 2222:

- SSH into centos1 and execute the command:

ssh ansible@centos1

sudo /utils/update_sshd_ports.sh 2222

7. Undo All Connections from ubuntu-c to centos1:

- Remove the SSH keys or clean up any specific configurations on centos1:

ssh ansible@centos1 "rm ~/.ssh/authorized_keys"

8. Set Up SSH Keypair Connection with centos1:

- On ubuntu-c, generate another SSH key if needed and set it up for centos1:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 -f ~/.ssh/centos1_key

ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/centos1_key ansible@centos1


9. Update sshd on centos1 to Accept Connections on Ports 22 and 2222:

- SSH into centos1 and run:

ssh ansible@centos1

sudo /utils/update_sshd_ports.sh 2222 22
