Problem:
I have the problem, when i try to run a ansible role over the smart proxy on a client, it always shows this error in the ansible log on the smart roxy server:
[root@smart-proxy foreman-proxy]# tail -n200 /var/log/ansible.log

I can connect password less with ssh from the smart proxy to the client, but only with the root user. In this log the proxy always try to connect with the foreman-proxy user. So i add to the ansible hosts file following line:
tsrvma201 ansible_connection=ssh ansible_user=root
But this is not working. The job also tells me that the root user should be running the ansible role:
I set the remote execution user also to root, but despite all these settings, it still takes the foreman-proxy user.
Do you have any idea where i can change the user who execute the role on the smart-proxy server?
Expected outcome:
Succesfull ansible role execution.
