Hello Team,
I want to enable the force authentication via Ansible script. Can u tell me how can I set the sonar.forceauthentication=true
I need to run the Ansible on more then 60 instances.

I tried the following but it doesn’t enable the force userauthentication.

Url: “{{sonar_url}}/api/settings/set”
method: POST
body: “key=sonar.forceAuthnetication&value=true”
force_basic_auth: yes
user: admin
password: admin
validate_certs: no

Can you tell me how can I pass the authorization header in this case?its telling me unauthorized error for this task
Sonarversion 6.7.3 is being used by us

Yash BRAHMANI

Hi Yash,

I’ve no idea how is working Ansible, the only thing I can tell you is that the correct setting is “sonar.forceAuthentication” and not sonar.forceAuthnetication.
