how to pass "physical path credentials to win_iis_webapplication" command in Ansible to create a web application and setting credentials

Question

I am trying to create the Webapplication using Ansible with the win_iis_webapplication command. I am unable to set the "physical path credentials" for the site using this command. Could someone help me on how to pass the credentials with the command(win_iis_webapplication).

https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/win_iis_webapplication_module.html

This documentation didn't provide anything on the "Physical Path Credentials" attribute of the web application.

There is no such support inside that module for the attribute you want. Use powershell and `win_shell` instead, or right your own custom module. — 2ps, Apr 29 '19 at 00:13
