ConnectAuthError when using passphrased ssh key about ansible-junos-stdlib HOT 1 CLOSED

Ansible communicates with Junos devices different than most managed nodes.

With most managed nodes, Ansible makes an SSH connection to the node, pushes modules to the node, and executes the modules on the node. In this mode, Ansible is making the SSH connection.

With Junos devices, Ansible makes a "local" connection and executes the module directly on the local machine. The module then makes a NETCONF-over-SSH connection to the Junos device. In this mode, it's the module that is making the SSH connection.

For Junos devices using a password protected SSH key, you MUST specify the "passwd" option to pass the password to the module.

There are a few ways the password can be passed to the module.
This link covers how to prompt for the password, or use a vault to store the password:
