Originally created by @cloudit-irontec on GitHub (Apr 10, 2025).

Deployment Type

Self-hosted

NetBox Version

v4.2.6

Python Version

3.12

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Fresh installation
  2. Created API token
  3. Used the netbox.netbox.netbox_tenant module:
    - name: Create tenant within NetBox
      netbox.netbox.netbox_tenant:
        netbox_url: "{{ lookup('env', 'NETBOX_API') }}"
        netbox_token: "{{ lookup('env', 'NETBOX_TOKEN') }}"
        validate_certs: false
        data:
          name: "{{ tenant.name }}"
          tenant_group: "{{ tenant.group }}"
          description: "{{ tenant.description }}"
          comments: "{{ tenant.comments }}"
        state: present
      tags: tenant

Expected Behavior

The tenant should be created.

Observed Behavior

Ansible:
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Failed to establish connection to NetBox API"}

The full traceback is:
  File "/tmp/ansible_netbox.netbox.netbox_tenant_payload_heg24mc4/ansible_netbox.netbox.netbox_tenant_payload.zip/ansible_collections/netbox/netbox/plugins/module_utils/netbox_utils.py", line 811, in _connect_netbox_api

            "state": "present",
            "validate_certs": false
        }
    },
    "msg": "Failed to establish connection to NetBox API"
}

Netbox Logs:

gunicorn[2306]: Forbidden: /api/

If I test the token with CURL, it works fine. Also, if I use the inventory plugin, it works as well. The same playbook works on two other NetBox 4.2.6 instances that are not fresh installs, but have been upgraded from version 3.x.

@cloudit-irontec I think this is a bug in https://github.com/netbox-community/ansible_modules rather than in NetBox itself; if so could you open this issue there?
