Hi,  
is it possible to validate AWX organization credentials? In a role i want to check if a credential exists. If not then i want to create them. Thats easy but if this credential exists i want to compare the username and password. If it is different then i want to update these one.  
With the AWX api i can retreive the credentials with each username. Is it also possible to do this for passwords?
