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 the ACI documentation.
- More information about the internal APIC class aaa:User from the APIC Management Information Model reference.
