Notes
Note
This module is not idempotent when
aaa_password
is being used (even if that password was already set identically). This appears to be an inconsistency wrt. the idempotent nature of the APIC REST API. The vendor has been informed. More information in :ref:`the ACI documentation <aci_guide_known_issues>`.
