na_ontap_info

So I am working with some automation using Ansible and the NetApp Modules
the one I am using is na_ontap_info
and whenever I ran a task with that module, I get this error:
NetApp API failed. Reason - 401:basic auth failed
So I checked the account that I am using via SSH and it is working
and also checked it has console, ontapi and ssh access
but still not working

You need to use localhost and https to communicate.

Here is an example of ad-hoc ansible command.

"ansible localhost -m na_ontap_info -a "hostname=192.168.0.101 username=admin password=Netapp01 https=true validate_certs=false"

Please replace the hostname with your cluster management IP, and same for username and password to see if it works.
